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.

"Art today is just one big clusterfuck of artists doing what will get them paid, what will get them laid or what will get them famous."

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."

nuxiy commented on the word agey
"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."

nuxiy commented on the word eurovision
Perhaps they should reconsider the name of the show. The formal name in Norway, though, for "Eurovision" is "Melodi Grand Prix", so the norwegian edition of the name dont exactly exclude anyone from participating; The official name however...

Why can we add the same word to a list multiple times? Seems a bit absurd to have a list consisting of the same word in greater numbers.
