E. Gadd's Word of the Week & Others' Interpretations of Said Word™️

[mikey]

I meant zorro

[E. Gadd Industries]

XD you think Zorro is foxy, eh? She is the NSM Vixen, after all

also I know zorro means fox but whatever

What language is that? Italian?

7/4/16 Deflagrate (v.)- 1. To burn rapidly with intense heat and sparks being given off  2. To cause to burn in such a manner

If you didn't see that one coming, that's just sad...

[mikey]

...spanish...

[E. Gadd Industries]

In my defense, the Spanish teacher I had never taught animals (outside of los animales, el gato, y el perro).

7/5/16 Preterit (n.)- past tense

^He did teach us that, though. And present-progressive. And imperfect.
It's killing me, waiting for my AP score... ;_; I thought it was being released today, but I just found out I have to wait until Friday.

[BlackDragonSlayer]

I thought it was being released today, but I just found out I have to wait until Friday.

...this Friday?

[E. Gadd Industries]

Yes, this Friday. XD

7/6/16 Fastidious (adj.)- 1. Having high and often unpredictable standards  2. Showing a meticulous or demanding attitude

My dad is like that: has unpredictable expectations and a demanding attitude.

[cashwarrior1]

Michigan weather is fastidious... or maybe it's just bipolar...

[E. Gadd Industries]

That's the same with Kentucky's XD

7/7/16 Eventuate (v.)- to come out finally: result, come about

Go "eventuated" yesterday. Took it long enough! I was about hyped out constantly (well, for lack of a better word) checking for updates.

7/8/16 Cubit (n.)- any of various ancient units of length based on the length of the forearm from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger

How ironic, I'm reading through the Pentateuch at the moment. Generally, in the Bible, a cubit is approx. 18" long, or 45 cM long. A handbreadth is approx. 3"/7.5 cM, and a span is approx. 9"/22.5 cM
But that's a rough estimate, given how easily variable a human growth can be in length.

EDIT: Given this information, Goliath was around 9' 9" (6 cubits and a span).

[Bloop]

the abbreviation for centimeters is just cm, no need for capitals

[E. Gadd Industries]

Crap! I picked up that habit from my chemistry teacher, who would deduct points if you didn't have it spelled cM.

[Dudeman]

...and s/he calls him/herself a chemistry teacher?

[E. Gadd Industries]

She does. She's taught ever since the school was there. She's taught AP since 2005(?) and not one person has scored higher than a 1 on the test.

EDIT: No one likes her.
