[Ōkami~MD]

I just googled it

[E. Gadd Industries]

So the English version is related to befoul, eh?
Fancy!

you are my king

5/8/16 Fulgent (adj.)- dazzlingly bright: radiant
Oh, DARLING, I know EXACTLY what you mean!

[E. Gadd Industries]

5/9/16 Interpellate (v.)- to question (as a foreign minister) formally concerning an official action or policy or personal conduct
So...Questioning someone's authority?
Makes sense. Back before the Protestant Reformation, that would've given you a lovely gift of excommunication and a fruit basket!

[Dudeman]

5/9/16 Interpellate (v.)- to question (as a foreign minister) formally concerning an official action or policy or personal conduct
So...Questioning someone's authority?

Lol no, you have it completely backwards. Reread that definition, with emphasis on the word "formally."

[E. Gadd Industries]

XD Oh! So, a minister questioning someone else's authority?

5/10/16 Waitron (n.)- a person who waits tables (as in a restaurant): waitperson
See? This is exactly what I mean when I say the English language is redundant! What's the point of this word?

Also, can it be Friday??? I have studied a TON for the upcoming AP Test, and I'm ready to not have to worry about it any longer. T_T I am retaining SO much information right now. I literally recited all of Roman history to my World History teacher this morning, and I've memorized all the Chinese dynasties along with major accomplishments of each one. I still need to study the Ottomans and relative time periods. Please send help.

[Ōkami~MD]

uuuuuh.... here is some help lol I know hardly anything about ottomans

[E. Gadd Industries]

Can we get this guy a promotion or something?

ALSO
THE CALENDAR HAS BLESSED US WITH THE WORD OF THE YEAR.
5/11/16 Gossamer (adj.)- extremely light, delicate, or tenuous

WHO GETS THE REFERENCE?!?!?!

Also, aren't cobwebs sometimes referred to as gossamers?

[Dudeman]

...why in the world is the word "gossamer" a reference?

Cobwebs themselves are not referred to as "gossamers," as far as I know, though they can be (and often are) described as "gossamer threads."

[mikey]

why is it the word of the year

[Ōkami~MD]

Can we get this guy a promotion or something?

yes. lol

The reference is probably a gossamer reference

[E. Gadd Industries]

yes. lol

The reference is probably a gossamer reference

Gossamer as in?
Also, this should enlighten you:

The reference

[close]

Get it now?

5/12/16 Opusculum (n.)- a minor work (as of literature)
So The Odyssey and The Iliad?
(Btw, don't read the second book of The Iliad if you have to read it; all it is is an extensive list of names of participants in the war.

EDIT: WAIT, Okami, did you mean the flight machine?

[Bloop]

i wouldn't say the odyssey and the iliad are 'minor'

[E. Gadd Industries]

i wouldn't say the odyssey and the iliad are 'minor'

I know.

[mikey]

I still don't get it

[Dudeman]

I still don't get it

That's the point (no pun intended).
