10 months ago, on pop, thesaraheffect said
"For some reason I'm the only one in my family who says "soda." How did that happen?
Edit
Oh I see! I was born in "pop" raised in "soda" (the only soda in Nebraska, by-the-by, and then moved back to "pop." "
Thank you! That made my day! In the eastern part of the state, I always tried to say "soda pop," just in case.

Are the men that God made mad,
For all their wars are merry,
And all their songs are sad."

Oh jeez, you capitalized the "a" right in the middle of "hapax". That has to be embarassing... Lozenge?

My condolences! How we abuse the weakest creatures so freely is beyond me! My Hank, described below, sadly met his untimely end on the highway beside my parents house
"when an instrument of fate would not wait for his flopping gait."

thesaraheffect commented on the word poppy
You should have wept her yesterday,
Wasting upon her bed:
But wherefore should you weep today
That she is dead?
Lo we who love weep not today,
But crown her royal head.
Let be these poppies that we strew,
Your roses are too red:
Let be these poppies, not for you
Cut down and spread.
--Christina Rossetti

thesaraheffect commented on the word wanker
I don't think this can really be compared with jerk. If it ever meant something to that effect, it has evolved to something much milder.

Hah! The first thing I thought of was that these sound like anatomical euphemisms or porn star names! love petal? Really?

thesaraheffect commented on the list it-has-a-name
I agree with Prolagus that hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia belongs on this list as does paraskavedekatriaphobia. At least that was my thought when I first stumbled upon the word. (How does one "stumble" upon such a word?)

thesaraheffect commented on the word cannoli
I read that "one spaghettio" and got excited. Mmm, spaghettios and cannoli...or maybe just one cannolo, I don't want to overdo it.

thesaraheffect commented on the word puissant
I suspect that erudite would have been an appropriate descriptor. Actually, high-falutin would have been one as well. Certainly, it was pretentious. I had a very intimate relationship with my thesaurus.

thesaraheffect commented on the word schwa
It's hard for me to love a phoneme that is by definition "neutral" and "toneless." Inescapable and necessary? Certainly, but so are plagues and forest fires!
*sigh* I am certainly not a conoissieur of phonology and perhaps not yet developed a taste for the subtleties of the schwa. At present, however, I've simply resigned myself to its inevitability.

thesaraheffect commented on the word bibliomancy
Ooh this amuses me! I know people who do this with the bible,
"God wanted me to read this today!"
"Or...mayhaps it's just windy?"
Oy! Makes me wanna love-thump 'em!

thesaraheffect commented on the word cheese
I once had a rescue kitten who developed a fever so high that his nervous system was damaged so his entire hindquarters went all floppy!
He had already been emasculated, so it really didn't hurt him in the recreational realm, it just made it really sad to watch him run.
*jump-jump-flop! jump-jump-flop!*

thesaraheffect commented on the word rhotic
like the schwa the rhotic vowel is one of the reasons I dislike the sound of American English. I was born in the wrong country in the wrong decade.
Sep 24, 2009
thesaraheffect commented on the word schwa
The most horrid vowel sound (and which occurs far to frequently in American English). Essentially, it is the sound of stupid: "uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

I can never take this word seriously, my brain will insist on saying "you-slurp!" every time it's mentioned.

thesaraheffect commented on the word puissant
How would you pronounce this in French? The first time I read it, it came to me as: "pwee-san(t)" and it has been difficult to uproot that pronunciation.
Sep 24, 2009
thesaraheffect commented on the word puissant
My high school English teacher criticized me for using this word in an essay stating that it was too esoteric. Down with public education. Down with it, I say!

I suppose one could consider "cloak" an umbrella term for all armless outerwear.

The invention of the IHOP was a boon to all the efficient eaters out there. Where else can you consume a day's worth of calories in one simple meal?
