spleurk commented on the word prolyte
Prout knew that hydrogen, with an atomic weight of 1, was the lightest of all the known elements. Maybe, said Prout, hydrogen is the "primary matter," and all the other elements are simply combinations of hydrogens. In the spirit of the ancients, he named this quintessence "protyle".

spleurk commented on the word selvfed
Nyere mutation af ordet selvsmagende. Jeg hørte det vist nok første gang udtalt af stand-up komikeren Lars Hjortshøj (men jeg er ikke sikker) engang i 1990'erne. Siden har det stort set erstattet selvsmagende i den offentlige diskurs.

spleurk commented on the word selvsmagende
Dette ord blev vist brugt i gamle dage (for 10-15 år siden!) om folk, der elskede at høre sig selv tale. Folk der smagte på ordene og samtidig syntes de var de mest interessante personer i verden. Siden er ordet blevet erstattet af selvfed. Så for at ordet ikke skal forsvinde helt ud af det danske sprog, smider jeg det på her.
