Hi nuxiy. There's a Wikipedia link under every word, it's the W icon 8th from the left.
Welcome to Wordie, hope you have fun.

No, I'm not Norwegian, and in fact, I didn't know that my handle meant anything in Norwegian until a couple weeks ago. But thanks for asking.
And welcome to Wordie! If you have any questions, just ask.

nuxiy commented on the word hasbian
Too bad I missed this discussion. Im more on madmouth on this one. I think its hilarious and people must be able to take some crap from time to time.
I really enjoy offensive jokes though, even if it implies something that can be insulting for myself. It doesnt really matter in the bigger picture anyway for me.

nuxiy commented on the word adage
"Appreciating the adage, that "money is power," he married Herdisa, the daughter of a priest called Bersi the Rich--a very enviable surname, which, no doubt, enabled the reverend gentleman to brave the bulls and decrees of popes and councils, and take to himself a wife--who brought him a very considerable fortune."

"If you’re familiar with animal totems, you could say that Bear is one of my totems, and his purpose is to stand guard whenever I’m in my creative cave. If that’s too new agey for you, then you could say this “bear�? persona takes over as my subconscious autopilot during creative periods."

nuxiy commented on the word hermitary
"Why "hermitary"? A hermitary is a dwelling for a hermit. Hermitary is an obsolete medieval English word, which, however, referred to enclosed anchorites more than to hermits. But that is by the way."

nuxiy commented on the word quasi-solitude
"For years, I listened to talk radio in my car during my daily commutes. Four months ago, I turned it off. I don’t need some blowhard putting angry thoughts into my head about things I cannot change. Now I spend my commutes in quasi-solitude. Sometimes, I listen to podcasts or music, but mostly I listen to my thoughts and try to control them."

nuxiy commented on the word defecate
"Former Northwest Orient CEO Donald Nyrop built entire office buildings without a single window – not even the doors were glass – because he didn’t want his employees frittering away time looking outside. I’ve seen the buildings. They are giant gray cement rectangles. He ordered all the doors taken off the bathroom stalls because he didn’t want employees wasting time on the toilet. Can you imagine what it must have been like to work under his leadership? You couldn’t even defecate in solitude."

nuxiy commented on the word stemming
"Solitude suggests peacefulness stemming from a state of inner richness. It is a means of enjoying the quiet and whatever it brings that is satisfying and from which we draw sustenance. It is something we cultivate. Solitude is refreshing; an opportunity to renew ourselves. In other words, it replenishes us."

"When the superbiological element that is the center and the measure of true virility is lost, people can call themselves men, but in reality they are just eunuchs and their paternity simply reflects the quality of animals who, blinded by instinct procreate randomly other animals, who in turn are mere vestiges of existence"

March 23, 2009
nuxiy commented on the word obtuseness
"Though today people talk more frequently about "population control" in view of the catastrophic effects of the demographic phenomenon that I have compared to cancer, this still does not address the essential issue, since a differentiated and qualitative criterion does not come into play at all. But those who oppose population control on the basis of traditionalist and pseudomoralistic ideas, which nowadays amounts to mere prejudices, are guilty of even graters obtuseness. If what really matters is the greatness and the might of a stock, it is useless to be concerned about the material quality of fatherhood unless an equal concern for its spiritual dimension is present as well in the sense of superior interests, of the correct relationship between the sexes, and above all, of what is really meant by virility - of what it still signifies on a plane that is not merely naturalistic"

nuxiy commented on the word ineluctible
"This begin the case, it is no wonder the superior races are dying out before the ineluctible logic of individualism, which especially in the so-called contemporary "higher classes," has caused people to lose all desire to procreate".

"Generation was decreed and the being who was generated was willed as the "child of duty," namely, as one who must undertake and nourish the supernatural element of his stock and the liberation of the ancestor, and who must receive and pass on to future generations strength, life, and stability. Today, all this has become an inane fancy; men, instead of being in control of sex are controlled by it and wander about like drunkards without having the least cluse as to what takes place in the course of their embraces"

nuxiy commented on the word blondism
"The result of significant depigmentation of the skin, hair and eyes. It has been suggested that this feature, which is possibly the expression of a mutation at the gene known as MC1R, arose in early (Paleolithic) northern European populations as a selective response to relatively low levels of ultraviolet radiation, resulting in insufficient synthesis of Vitamin D in the human body (Vitamin D is essential to the strength of the bone structure). Lighter-pigmented skin supposedly allows more ultraviolet radiation to enter, enabling an adequate production of Vitamin D. Sexual selection of novel, distinctive characters such as blond hair and light eyes (probably non-selected "side effects" of the general reduction in melanin) may have contributed greatly to the propagation of the phenotype. Contrary to popular belief, blondism is not in essence a distinctive or intrinsically Nordid feature, but is shared by most Europid (mostly Cro-Magnid) populations within a certain geographical range centered on the Baltic Sea (Dalo-Falids, Borrebys, Baltids, etc.). The lack of similar selection in Eskimids and other arctic peoples probably results from adequate levels of Vitamin D in their diets."

nuxiy commented on the word basion
"The point where the anterior margin of the foramen magnum is intersected by the median sagittal plane. The point is located on the inner border of the anterior margin of the foramen magnum directly opposite of opisthion. In rare cases, the determination of the position of basion may be made difficult by a thickening of the anterior margin. In height measurements of the braincase, basion is positioned somewhat farther onto the underside of the margin of the foramen magnum (hypobasion), so that the observer may distinguish between an inferior and a posterior basion for reasons of convenience and technical demands."

nuxiy commented on the word assortative mating
"The tendency of like to mate with like. Mating can be assortative for a certain genotype (e.g., individuals with genotype AA tend to mate with other individuals of genotype AA) or phenotype (e.g., tall individuals mate with other tall individuals)."
