This is a topic that other curious peoples can check daily unless certain hindrances arise for a word and its definition. You may know the words presented, and that's great! This is just a little something for the curious peoples like myself. Now, without further ado before this topic gets locked and hopefully it won't, but then again, it has no reason to be *to my knowledge*, here is today's word:
01/03/16: Asseverate (v.)- to affirm or declare positively or earnestly
sorry but the word of the day is lasciviousness
how are you not with it
I'm using a calendar. Are you using www.dictionary.com?
Make it slang word of the day and it'll be a hit.
So what's the point of "word of the day"?
To upgrade our vocabulary and to convince 21th Century Teenagers to not use their form of language (LOL, OMG, I-look-so-ugly-in-this-pic!!!1!11!)
Yes, what they said.
1/4/16: Fantod- (n.) 1. a. a state of irritability and tension; b. fidgets 2. an emotional outburst: fit
Quote from: AwesomeYears on January 04, 2016, 02:10:37 AMTo upgrade our vocabulary and to convince 21th Century Teenagers to not use their form of language
That sounds like a real 'holier than thou' reason; be it true or not.
I'm not meaning it to be a "holier than thou" thing. I just know that some people like learning new words, so this goes out to those people, conveniently on the NSM website!
I, for one, welcome our new vocabulary overlords.
The needless dispute about this is giving me fantods.

I know what it means and feel so good about it.

Oh no I didn't mean that. I meant the post right above mine. It was nothing more than my passing thought.
1/5/16: Uxorial (adj.)- of, relating to, or characteristic of a wife
Some of these words are just random.
when will i ever need to use this word xD
I guess when your future spouse finds herself doing something uxorial and you say to yourself "gee, my wife sure is acting uxorial"
that's when
i will be alone forever.
The example on the calendar mentions "going uxorial shopping."
Is it different than regular shopping?
In a way, i suppose....
you know those annoying people at wal mart who stay there for 3 hours and finally walk up to your register with 2 carts full of everything from frozen burritos to fresh veggies
uxorial
so, me at every grocery store
I call those events "shopping marathons". My parents like to do those, don't really understand why, though...
Anyhoo,
1/6/15 Proffer (v.)- to present for acceptance: tender, offer
On another note, I'm getting my braces off today! FINALLY!!!
Finally, word I recognize.
side-note, I don't see why everyone has a problem with braces; I liked 'em just fine when I had 'em.
Well, they are annoying, make your mouth feel 5 pounds heavier (hyperbole), and get all kinds of food stuck in them. Not to mention the pain of getting them on.
1/7/16:Diapason (n.)- 1a. a burst of sound b. the entire range of musical tones c. range, scope 2a. tuning fork b. a standard of pitch
Nana1Popo2, could you get this one?
Quote from: E. Gadd Industries on January 08, 2016, 04:56:21 AMNana1Popo2, could you get this one?
Surely!
1/8/16 Immure (v.)- 1a. to enclose within or as if within walls b. imprison 2. to build into a wall;
especially: to entomb in a wall
Read that as "immature" at first glance. Then again, the word "mature" could actually be vocabulary for a lot of people.
also #Amontillado

1/9/16 Loquacious (adj.)- 1. full of excessive talk: wordy 2. given to fluent or excessive talk: garrulous
So in other words, this describes someone who's ranting or something to that nature.
Or maybe when BrainyLucario doesn't stop making puns
Both are true XD
Quote from: braixen1264 on January 09, 2016, 10:22:51 AMOr maybe when BrainyLucario doesn't stop making puns
Hey! Come on, I can make some good puns!
or maybe tg
I like to think of loquacious as describing someone who speaks easily rather than a rant.
I suppose this is one of those words that changes in meaning based upon a person's own connotation of the word. To me, it's just someone who talks. A lot. Noc gave a great example of another connotation one might have for the word. What does loquacious mean to you, reader?
To me it means someone talking a lot to the point where it gets a little annoying
I read it as someone who jumps on any chance to join a conversation and then never gives up the floor.
I find myself agreeing more with those who have the negative connotation. I suppose it has to do with the fact that that's how I originally learned it
I thought it meant one who knows a lot of uncommon words and uses them a lot. Like if I said "The rambunctious rabble of uxorious lesbiotic women showed great tendency towards divisive discourse," I would consider myself not only pretentious but also loquacious. I think Charles Dickens, in today's context, qualifies for loquacious.
That's a possibility. I'm just going based upon what my calendar says (which is made by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary people).
On that note,
1/10/16 Jehu (n.)- the driver of a coach or cab
A short and sweet definition, but not a word that would be used immensely.
Jehu? Sounds almost like it developed from a stereotype that most cab drivers were Jewish. Or...wasn't there some chariot driver in the Bible named Jehu?
I'm not sure if he was a chariot driver, but I know there was a man named Jehu in the Bible.
Of course you would know that Mr. 15 and already read the whole bible (now reading it a second time!) quite an achievement, if i do say so myself
Quote from: Dudeman on January 10, 2016, 01:43:19 PMJehu? Sounds almost like it developed from a stereotype that most cab drivers were Jewish. Or...wasn't there some chariot driver in the Bible named Jehu?
After looking into it, Jehu was the chariot driver for the corrupt king of Israel, Ahab. After revolting, Jehu made himself king. Apparently, he was quite the reckless and speedy driver.
1/11/16 Chapfallen (adj.)- 1. having the lower jaw hanging loosely (a real jaw dropper, that is!) 2. cast down in spirit: depressed
Quote from: E. Gadd Industries on January 11, 2016, 11:02:40 AM(a real jaw dropper, that is!)

Rats, ya caught me! :P :P
(That was sarcasm BTW-plz don't ban!)
Can verify, I put in the pun that time XD
1/12/16 Sop (n.)- a conciliatory or propitiatory bribe, gift, or gesture
Relevant? To a post made nearly 3 weeks ago?
I think not.
The bribery part was...
Honestly, Brainy, I would've been surprised had you NOT brought that up. XD

Thank you so much for your input, Mettaton..
Jee, the nerve of that guy...
1/13/16 Zeitgeber (n.)- an environmental agent or event that provides the stimulus setting or resetting a biological clock of an organism
Such a specific definition.... I don't suppose I'd use that term much. Unless I went into a career similar to ecology, that is.
my alarm clock is a zeitgeber?
Like when you get over jet lag?
Quote from: NocturneOfShadow on January 13, 2016, 08:41:27 AMmy alarm clock is a zeitgeber?
Your internal clock! And it's what resets it.
A good example is school. If you aren't used to the lunch time you're given, you eventually will; the scheduling acts as a zeitgeber for your stomach. (Said by E. Gadd through Brainy)

Agreed!
1/15/16 Golconda (n.)- a rich mine; broadly: a source of great wealth
Mine, as in a cave filled with precious metals?
No, as in the opposite of a rich yours.

So here's today's:
1/18/16 Rectitudinous (adj.)- 1. characterized by the quality of being honest and morally correct 2: piously self-righteous
So, MLF
no hard feelings buddy please don't kill me
Thank you, Mr. Moderator.
That feels so good :/
I think MLF tries his best to not feel bad about it, but still feels frustrated because he's trying to dispel those associations from himself. I can sympathize, as even though I've spent the last 14 months tempering my personal arrangements so that they are reasonably playable, I still get people hanging my old 2011-2012 arrangements over my head proclaiming otherwise.
Link's Awakening coughcough
um, what's wrong with being honest and morally correct

That's what you get for sacrificing your artistic integrity for popularity.
Quote from: NocturneOfShadow on January 18, 2016, 11:21:00 AMum, what's wrong with being honest and morally correct
The definition uses the phrase "piously self-righteous," which doesn't sound like an incredibly positive wording.
All the same, I appreciate MLF's dedication to making sure NSM stays a positive friendly place for new and old members alike.
at least this is a word that's possible to use in a conversation
That is truthful!
1/19/16 Traduce (v.)- 1. to expose to shame or blame by means of falsehood and misrepresentation 2. violate, betray
They are the traduced. I am the traducer.
zorro makes me feel traduced
Quote from: NocturneOfShadow on January 19, 2016, 08:46:25 AMzorro makes me feel traduced

1/20/16 Miscible (adj.)- capable of being mixed; specifically: capable of mixing in any ratio without separation of two phases
Hm. A science term! What a rarity...
There's a familiar term! *cringes*
I think Organic Chem still haunts me. I enjoyed it, but sometimes it wasn't my cup of tea.
I think I'd be enjoying Chemistry more if my teacher was competent enough...
Quote from: E. Gadd Industries on January 20, 2016, 10:42:24 AMI think I'd be enjoying Chemistry more if my teacher was competent enough...
I had the same problem with my General Chemistry class last quarter. It was a good thing I'd taken basically the same class in semester format my Junior year in high school so I knew what was going on, but this guy just could
not speak effectively to save his life. Unfinished sentences, stuttering, awkward chuckling to mask a missed point (you know what I'm talking about)...
Yeah, did he ever go on random tangents that apparently made sense only to him?
1/21/16 Youthquake (n.)- a shift in cultural norms influenced by the values, tastes, and mores (?) of young people
I've never seen "mores" before. And that word...there are no words to describe it. Aside from random.
Quote from: E. Gadd Industries on January 21, 2016, 07:51:10 AMI've never seen "mores" before. And that word...there are no words to describe it. Aside from random.
Mores: Pronounced, "MOR-ays." Usually spelled with an accented e. Noun. The social customs and conventions of a community or society.
Basically this word is the 1970's. And, come to think of it, the 2010's.
Quote from: Dudeman on January 21, 2016, 09:50:29 AMBasically this word is the 1970's. And, come to think of it, the 2010's.
Concerning youthquake or mores?
Youthquake. Morés are far more universal.
Makes sense!
1/22/16 Hachure (v.)- to shade with or show by short lines used for shading and denoting surfaces in relief (as in map drawing) and drawn in the direction of slope
*cringes* I remember doing that in art class.... Ugh.
Hatching is really fun though why cringe
I don't gravitate to visual art as easily as most. I mean, don't hate me, but I just don't see the point in it. Cuique suum. I'm sure there is one, but it has never shown itself to me.
(Here's some hatching examples as a visual):

Honestly I only like pencil drawing and nothing else, save digital art. I think it's fun to look at something or imagine something and jot it down quickly, exactly as it looks in life or in your head. It's the satisfaction of seeing the outcome that keeps me drawing. If you're someone that's not into that, I don't really think you're in the minority.

1/23/16 Kakistocracy (n.)- government by the worst people
What a pessimistic term! (And generally opinionated, at that) What is meant by "worst"? (No names, please) It seems as though "kakistocracy" could be used rather flexibly...
1/24/16 Sublimate (v.)- 1. to cause to pass directly from solid to vapor (e. g., frozen carbon dioxide) 2. to express (a desire or impulse) in a more socially acceptable form
Ooh! A science term that has a more practical definition! What a rarity!

1/25/16 Innocuous (adj.)- 1. harmless 2. not likely to give offense or to arouse strong feelings or hostility
For example: My repeated use of Mettaton's line of dialogue is completely innocuous.
Who's Mettaton?
A lot of kids on NSM tend to do this thing where they ask what things are without first googling it. ???

1/29/16 Two-bit (adj.)- 1. of the value of two bits 2. cheap or trivial of its kind: petty, small-time
1/30/16 Aposiopesis (n.)- a pause or break in speech, caused either by the speaker's unwillingness or inability to continue

1/31/16 Steganography (n.)- the art or practice of concealing a message, image, or file within another
Ooh! Techy-hacky stuff! My favorite! XDXD
Random question: Do any of you use an Oxford comma, or do you just leave those out when you write/type?
I use it 90% of the time
All the time.
oxford... comma?
Oxford comma is the last comma in a list, and it's optional which really bothers some people.
Ex. Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow (with the Oxford comma)
Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow (without the Oxford comma)
It really shouldn't be a big deal whether it's there or not
oh yeah I do that
I almost forgot to Google this time lol
Anyway I don't use the Oxford comma for schoolwork, but I always use it in out-of-school stuff
Quote from: braixen1264 on January 31, 2016, 10:58:02 AMAnyway I don't use the Oxford comma for schoolwork, but I always use it in out-of-school stuff
I was always taught that the Oxford Comma was proper grammaring (oh, the irony), so I got in the habit of using it regularly for things such as writing essays, typing, etc. ( :P)
I just don't get why some teachers are deducting points on writing-based assignments for either including it or neglecting to do so. It just doesn't make any sense as to why it makes so much a difference, and I thought maybe I could see others' opinions on the matter.
You can have my Oxford Comma when you pry it from my cold, dead, and lifeless hands.

Thank you!
Merry Groundhog Day! 2/2/16 Gimcrack (n.)- a showy object of little use or value: gewgaw
So...Punxsutawney Phil, then.
Google it, dont ask who it is.
A Pennsylvanian Groundhog in its namesake town. And it didn't see its shadow today. That 18 times to what? Over 100 times seeing its shadow? Something like that.

When the squad excoriates you XDXD
2/4/16 Cynosure (n.)- 1. the northern constellation Ursa Minor; also: North Star 2. one that serves to direct or guide 3. a center of attraction or attention
Whoa. A three-definition word! Did you know "set" has over 100 different definitions and possible usages?
So it's a word that means something, but is also used to refer to a constelation?

2/7/16 Fraxinella (n.)- a Eurasian perennial herb (Dictamnus albus) with flowers that emit an aromatic flammable vapor in hot weather
^Because everyone should know not to smoke (or light a match in general) near these plants when the heat index is 100+^
All kidding aside, this has to be the most randomly specific word in the calendar.
I like it because it's a plant. All calendar definitions should be plants.

EDIT: I know this is random, but what do you guys think about me writing a story? Comment your thoughts/ideas below (chances are, it'll be a Mario- or Pokémon-themed story/series, and who knows? It may be an inclusive/interactive adventure!)
Why not? If you want to write a story/fanfic, go ahead! I'm sure there are some people here that would enjoy reading it
*sprays out soda from mouth*
You're thinking about writing a fan-story (/fic?)? That would be awesome to read! I'm all for that!

2/8/16 Cockalorum (n.)- 1. a boastful and self-important person 2. boastful talk
An AIRHEAD!! XD
I'll be sury to use this term nextime someone is being too cocky.
2/9/16 Sumptuous (adj.)- extremely costly, rich, luxurious, or magnificent
The opposite of me, summed up in one word. Impressive.
2/10/16 Obviate (v.)- to anticipate and prevent (as a situation) or make unnecessary (as an action)
Like the move Protect in a Pokémon battle! Oh, just so you know, I'm have a fossil Pokémon giveaway at some point in the next few days (probably once I finish my lab report). PM me or comment on here if you're interested. I'm using Y.
2/11/16 Wowser (n.)- chiefly Australian: an obtrusively puritanical person
G'day, mates! This word is presented to you by the Aussies!
What? Wowser has nothing to do with religion. It is generally an exclamation of surprise; an extension of "Wow!" or a way to swear without swearing.
I don't think the word was given in the context of religion so much as just generally strict, if you're meaning puritanical. I took a double-take as well, but I think that's what was implied.
O_____O CRAP!!! I knew I was forgetting something!!!
2/12/16 Apodictic (adj.)- expressing or of the nature of necessary truth or absolute certainty
My, what a mouthful...
2/13/16 Jog trot (n.)- 1. a horse's slow measured trot 2. a routine habit or course of action

Merry Valentines Day! It's a day to celebrate all those who haves relationships and make those who don't feel sorry for themselves! What a holiday. *rolls eyes* But, oh well. Guess it's just something we'll all have to live with.

G'day, mates! This word is presented to you by the Aussies!
Just gotta go back a sec to this one. Wowser is actually the exact name that my brother and I gave to a customized Bowser in Smash 4. It has maxed defense and the other stats grow over time. If I recall correctly it also may regain health over time but don't quote me on that. Essentially, it's pretty OP hence the name "Wowser".

Did somebody say vaporwave?!

I've known about vaporware since I started researching CubeWorld. Shop isn't even up anymore for that one.

No, cause it's out. But only for Club Nintendo users. Nintendo is so afraid of getting sued since pedophiles. were using flipnote hatena and other similar applications to try to pick up children that they try not to release them in the US.
O_O That's good to know...
I meant, before it was out could you have called it vaporware?
Yes. Very much so

Nah, I'd rather be the original Dude
The OD?
2/25/16 Maladroit (adj.)- lacking skill, cleverness, or resourcefulness in handling situations: inept
Huh. That makes sense; it's just "adroit" with "mal" in front of it.
I tried to think of a good pun for this but I just couldn't. I could take the low-hanging fruit and say "guess I'm maladroit at making puns" but that's both unfunny and untrue.
Quote from: Dudeman on February 25, 2016, 10:18:08 AMHuh. That makes sense; it's just "adroit" with "mal" in front of it.

Tú no eres único E. Gadd
I DONT CARE.
Excuse you, that sentence should more properly be "Tú no eres el único, E. Gadd." I think. Depends on what you were trying to say.
And to think, Brainy, that you're in Spanish 2 XDXD
I'm in the middle of taking Spanish I for the second time(moving schools messed things up) and so I'm pretty grounded in the foundation right now. Very grounded.

Spanish, I got this
el helado es cansado
I didn't know ice cream could become tired (on a side note, in that case, it would be "está", and not "es", as being tired isn't quite a permanent state of being, contrary to popular belief)
You wrong, E. Gadd. Ice cream is the very essence of tired.
Not for me, it isn't!

Believe it or not, this word is pronounced like "In here"! Another example of how the English language is confusing. Now, back to your regularly scheduled Spanish!
Tu queso está muy verde y frío.
I didn't use google translate. I just didn't know how to say that word in spanish.

So why not just say "embezzlement?" Only Latins will theorize...
Thanks for yesterday's word, Nana1Popo2! And now for today's word:
2/28/16 Clement (adj.)- 1. inclined to be merciful: lenient 2. mild
Oooh! An imagery word! I'd like to hear some of the sentences you guys can come up with using such a descriptive word! Of course, it isn't that difficult to figure out the word's definition. I mean, "Inclement" - "in-" = "Clement" and so long as you have a decent understanding of prefixes, it's all logical!

I have got to start posting these earlier. But my, what a confusing definition!

I do believe that there is some truth to that statement! A quote worry of a Solon!
But what's a Solon?
2/6/16 Solon (n.)- 1. A wise and skillful lawgiver 2. A member of a legislative body
That is a Solon.
3/7/16 Lollygag (v.)- to spend time idly, aimlessly, or foolishly: dawdle

3/8/16 Bucket shop (n.)- a shop that sells buckets. 1. a gambling establishment that formerly used market fluctuations (as in commodities) as a basis for gaming 2. a dishonest brokerage firm
Yeah, lollygag is a rather fitting word for this site... XD
Would you be able to call the Chum Bucket a bucket shop?
Well, not
technically by definition, since Plankton never really gave out money to anyone (to my knowledge). HOWEVER, with the definition taken out of context just right, The Chum Bucket most definitely would be a bucket shop (e. g.,

Because I want my Rock of Gibraltar to go with that.
That prize was brought to you courtesy of the Eagle Hand Laundry. Now, on to the bonus question. Who, mind you WHO, was the referee for the New Zealand heavyweight title fight in 1726?
The correct answer was Garibaldi. Giuseppe Garibaldi, that is. Mazzini also played a key role in he unification of the Italian peninsula.
3/10/16 Zoomorphic (adj.)- 1. having the form of an animal 2. of, relating to, or being a deity conceived of in animal form or with animal attributes
So, like Queztlcoatl? (I think I spelled that correctly)
It's like the opposite of Anthropomorphic, I guess...So if Fox (From Star Fox) was Zoomorphic instead of anthropomorphic, he would look like a real fox.

But then he'd just be a fox...
It's more like if Link still looked wolfish when in human form in Twilight Princess. Think werewolf, or the interpretation where the person really only grows strange facial hair, fangs, and claws, as opposed to turning completely into a wolf-like creature.

I think it's Quetzalcoatl
Quetzalcoatl isn't alerting spell check. I just thought that since it was a Native American deity, it would set off the spell check either way.
this is america
I know, but you know how spell check can get. Take Ghasirü for example. It's Canamari for "Sun", and spell check sets it off.
3/11/16 Importune (v.)- 1. to urge or beg with troublesome persistence 2. annoy, trouble
I know this doesn't have anything to do with the word (well, maybe it does indirectly), but my power was out this morning. Apparently, one of the electricity poles sparked and caught fire, and soon, the pole was in two pieces from how it burned... Quite odd.

I'd be able to participate if the game is MK7, but not 8. I can't think of any other multiplayer competitive games atm aside from Smash, Pokemon, and Splatoon, and I'm sure that people would be interested in at least one of the three. I'm probably leaving something with noting out too
I have Mario Kart 7 but that's it
Hey, how about I go all out:
MK7, MK8, Pokemon, and Smash?
Also,
3/12/16 Tourbillion (n.)- 1. whirlwind 2. a vortex especially of a whirlwind or whirlpool
I'll put in my two cents about this word tomorrow, since I have to leave.
Pidgeotto, use Tourbillion! (Cash gains a billion dollars due to a tour Pidgeotto gave to all his pidgey friends)
Ok, first, my two cents for tourbillion:
Well, that's misleading. Thanks, English. Way to "enrich" our lives...
Next, my response to cashwarrior1:
^^^This guy gets it. That's what it should be (well, maybe not a Pokémon-based implementation, but in general).
Finally,
3/13/16 Panglossian (adj.)- marked by the view that all is for the best in this best of possible worlds: excessively optimistic
This is where I draw the line for optimism. I mean, sure, I love being around positive people (and am one myself), but this is just too much. I would even go so far as to say suspicious... <.< >.>
Apparently, this word references Voltaire's novel Candide; one of the characters (Dr. Pangloss) is the example optimist that is known for stating a quote that the definition contains nods to. ("All is for the best in this best of possible worlds")
3/14/16 Nonplus (v.)- to cause to be at a loss as to what to say, think, or do: perplex

This definition is really accurate. It describes what the Amalgamates in the True Lab are perfectly. Monsters that have merged into a single body.

I was wondering why an Undertale reference wasn't the first thing to come to mind, but I forgot that it's Brainy and not you who's played Undertale to completion.
Wow. I'm really surprised Brainy hasn't convinced you to watch it sooner.
Oh, believe me, he tried. A lot. I eventually found that it wasn't worth it to keep resisting, else I would become perturbed, and he, well, it's hard to say what would happen to him. XD But if you're wanting me to keep it in mind, why did you say no peeking, Brainy? And I suppose I'll understand the reference later on, huh?
amalgams are generally a mess anyway
no pun intended
Ahhhh XD
Also, if I made a topic where you posted NCAA tourney predictions, would any of you participate?
yeah
Pfffff, sportsball? Who has time to do the sports? Or watch the sports?

"To this reviewer, a quondam classics geek, Hart's real appreciation for the pagan authors of antiquity is obvious on every page."
-William L. Porter, Commonweal, May 8, 2009
I guess that makes a bit more sense.
3/19/16 Fugleman (n.)- one at the head or forefront of a group or movement
So, like Jamaha for NSM?
Seems to be more of a political definition (no pun intended) than casual like nsm
Still not letting that go, I see? Meh, I guess this is another of those connotative words.
Noc....it's time to move on (no pun intended). That joke's getting pretty old...just like Dudeman's John Cena joke...

OOH! A German word! Just like doppelganger and Eigengrau!
EDIT: Also, I just watched Dudeman's post in the pics/vids topic. Wow... That was really moving...
We will all miss you, Satoru Iwata. You will live on in our hearts and games forever. Through all your countless contributions, Nintendo will never have another President as dedicated and true as you were...

3/21/16 In silico (adv./adj.)- in or on a computer: done or produced by using computer software or simulation
Ooh! New Latin! This word started being used in the 1990s. I can only imagine what sci-fi stuff was being drummed up with this word!
3/22/16 Tutoyer (v.)- to address familiarly
This site is full of tutoyering amongst members!
Also, this is a French term, so it is pronounced Too-twah-yay

thought that looked like a familiar term!
Also, my comments are up.
EDIT:
3/28/16 Saponaceous (adj.)- resembling or having the qualities of soap
...This is one of those words that makes a speaker sound arrogant.
If you ever need to use this term, say "soap-like" for crying out loud...Also, do you guys think I should edit the OP to contain a directory of every word in the thread? This would be for organizational purposes, and so I can have a running archive.
like oleaginous
^^^Exactly!
3/29/16 Lionize (v.) to turn someone/something into a lion 1. to treat as an object of great interest or importance 2. (British) to show the sights of a place to
Ahhh, I see what you did there. XD
3/30/16 Misprision (n.)- 1a. neglect or wrong performance of official duty b. concealing treason or felony by one who did not participate in the crime 2. misunderstanding
That last definition is so... ...? Yeah, let's go with that. Anyhoo, who's going to be downloading Miitomo tomorrow?
3/31/16 Glade (n.)- an open space surrounded by woods
Ahhh... The ideal location for a peaceful picnic, or perhaps a stargazing excursion! Either way, this word is one that I recognized when I first read it! XD
In other news, Miitomo comes out today! Ima download it when I get home; I've already preregistered. Is the My Nintendo thing basically Club Nintendo reincarnated?

Hey, Booboo. How 'bout we steal us some pic-i-nick baskets.
Don't you mean "pic-a-nic baskets"?
4/1/16 Mountebank (n.)- 1. a person who sells quack medicines from a platform 2. a boastful, unscrupulous pretender: charlatan
*ahem* "Hurr-ay, hurr-ay, hurr-ay, get your cure-all right here, folks! Just a dollar per bottle! This medicine was scientifically designed with a super-secretly-special ingredient found deep in the Amazon Jungle of South America. Hurr-ay, hurr-ay, hurr-ay! Got a cold? This'll fix you up in a jiffy! Got a headache? This'll knock it out for sure! This stuff can even cure your dog of rabies! Just look at this happy user here, he uses the medicine!" "He's right! I was once paralyzed in my right leg, but now, I can walk again!" "Just listen to that testimony! Tim- er*say, bud, what's your name?* Jerry here can walk fully again thanks to this medicine! Now, please form a line and you can all buy some of my all-natural cure-all! Just a dollar a bottle! My, what a steal!"

This could have a negative meaning just as well as positive... A neutral word!
4/3/16 Footle (v.)- 1. To talk or act foolishly 2. To waste time: trifle, fool
...so, I think I've found a word that describes half of me.
4/4/16 Campestral (adj.)- of or relating to fields or open country: rural
What is this calendar's obsession with "field-and-country-related" terminology??
Also,
Happy square root day!! :D

Quote from: E. Gadd Industries on March 22, 2016, 12:12:46 PMI will say that I also live in the Madisonville, KY area.

4/5/16 Poetaster (n.)- an inferior poet
So... A poet disaster? Makes sense. I guess. Maybe. Probably. Indefinitely. Uncertainly.
http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=5672.0
I'll get back to this in the morning. I have some ideas to work on

Kentucky isn't the only state that's rural, ya know?
yes it is.
4/6/15 Avoirdupois (n.)- 1. the series of units of weight based on the pound of 16 ounces and the ounce of 16 drams 2. weight, heaviness; especially: personal weight
Ooh! So the weight system used by 'Murica is the avoirdupois!
except that's a French word
Uh vwah doo pwah
I know, I thought about how ironic that was, too. XD
4/7/16 Imbricate (adj.)- lying lapped over each other in regular order
So, most common architecture? It makes me think of cabins! What are your thoughts on the word?
Dog pile.
XD Yes, that is also imbricate (to an extent)
4/8/16 Exculpate (v.)- to clear from alleged fault or guilt
Ooh! A legal term! Very fancy!
4/9/16 Baconian (n.)- one who loves bacon to an excess one who believes that Francis Bacon wrote the works usually attributed to Shakespeare
...Am I the only person who's never heard of this conspiracy before???
It's pretty famous among English/literature circles. I don't really recall why the conspiracy exists at all, but there's a significant amount of people who think that someone else wrote Shakespeare's plays. Not necessarily Sir Francis Bacon, but he's among the top candidates.
The main reason such theories exist is because people can't believe a commoner like Shakespeare could write those plays.
Haven't said people heard of prodigies?
but Shakespeare wrote his name differently on each of his plays! Proof that they weren't written by the same person.
Still not buying it. XD Now who thinks the moon landings were fake?
I mean, come on. You can see the stage lights reflected in their helmets.
XD That's plausible! Did you know the Sun is also a conspiracy? People (even the government!) tell us not to look at it!
4/10/16 Espiègle (adj.)- frolicsome, roguish
I may know a few people like this. Some of said people may frequent NSM. ::)
*winks roguishly*
I don't get how someone can be frolicsome and roguish at the same time.
Uhhhh.... Imagine someone who doesn't try to please anyone but themselves and operate on their own accord, but they love to fool around and such. Idk. XD
4/11/16 Temporize (v.)- 1. to act to suit the time or occasion: yield to current or dominant opinion 2. to draw out discussions or negotiations so as to gain time
1: So, yelling "FEEL THE BERN!!!!" at a Trump rally? XD
2: Isn't this known as a filibuster in Congress?
well if I remember right there's no "discussion" while someone is filibustering, I think they don't actually have to do anything now
The filibuster is a tactic Senators use to delay a vote or get their fellow Senators to vote for their bill so that they can finally stop talking. It's pretty discussion-unfriendly.
OH! So it's the stopping of the second definition! What's that called, then...? Hmmm...
You're stalling Mandy!
You think I'm... Stalling?
Yes yes, you're doing it right now!
Stalling.
Yes!
One of the best movies I've seen, and definitely the paramount of SpongeBob!
4/12/16 Orgulous (adj.)- proud, haughty
What are you most orgulous about? Or when was the last time you were orgulous about something?
I'm Orgulous of my story
I've been orgulous of the number of chemical equations I've balanced (691~)
I'm orgulous about how long I've waited (without complaining) to learn about your 5d theory :P
Okami, check your inbox. XD
FLUDD, what happened to your notebook, anyway?
4/13/16 Hypaethral (adj.)- 1. having a roofless central space 2. open to the sky
Those houses always interested me... It'd be kinda cool to have a courtyard in the center of my house, but that depends on where I live, I guess. Thoughts?
I think a front lawn or garden is fine, seems kind of weird to me to cut out a square of space that can't be used for half the year
My balancing chemical equations notebook sits at home in my climate controlled library, safe from the dangers of the world 😂Actually it just sits in a bin with all my other notebooks and other random books and all that stuff but safe from the world still

FLUDD, please try to refrain from double posting, please. The only reason I do it on here is if no one comments on the previous day's word.

4/15/16 Skirl (v.)- 1. of a bagpipe: to emit the high, shrill tone of the chanter; also: to give forth music 2. to play (music) on the bagpipe
Ummm... I don't know about you guys, but I have no desire to skirl on the pipes.
I double posted to keep the convo with brainy going and to respond to your word at two superstar times 🙄

4/16/16 Fleer (n.)- a word or look of derision or mockery

EDIT: I almost forgot: PRESENTING: THE FIFTH DIMENSIONAL THEORY!!!
Ok, I don't know if you, the reader, believes in a Heaven or anything synonymous. I don't need to know it, either. But say there was a Heaven. Where would it be located? In the sky? Perhaps. In the ocean? Ehhhh.... It would make sense, though, that Heaven would be located in the 5th dimension. Rationale: We live in the fourth dimension: l,w,h/d, change over time. The 4th & 3rd dimensions coexist (e. g., the electronic you use to view this is 3D, as it doesn't experience change over time). Well, from a 3D perspective, you wouldn't be able to see me, as I am 4D, and the 3rd D lacks the ability to comprehend, and therefore perceive, change over time. With that, you wouldn't be able to see what I am doing, only what is being done. Say, I were to bend a paper clip. If you were 3D, you would see the paper clip being bent, but not my bending it. This is similar to how we don't see God (or the deity you believe, if that's the case) or His actions, but we see the effects of what He does. This is why it makes sense that God (and Heaven, His realm) are located in the 5th D. If we possessed that fifth dimension, we could see Him, but since we don't, we can't comprehend/perceive it. Thoughts?

I really like your theory, it's interesting!
so, a 3D object makes a 2D shadow, yes? And a 2D object would make a 1D shadow. So, it stands to reason that a 4D object makes a 3D shadow. Ghosts anybody?

woooooOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH *kaboom*
right? And so if ghosts are the remnants of dead people, and we assume the ghosts to be their shadows, wouldn't that make the 4 dimensional object casting the shadow... a person?
boom. Thesis.

Noc, you are a genius. That is an amazing theory. It would also explain why we can pass through ghosts as well...they're just shadows

maybe it's picnic time
But ghosts aren't 3D shadows, right? That'd mean a ghost doesn't change over time, as explained in E. Gadd's theory. Ghosts are 4D shadows of 5D (dead) people, which would be heaven because 5D.

Yes.
No, we're in the 4th dimension. If we were in the 3rd, age would be nonexistent. We would carry out our "lives" (more like state of perpetual existence, in this case) in a static form.
Quote from: Altissimo on April 17, 2016, 07:48:06 AMok e gadd, here's a challenge to your theory. How would you justify it to people who don't believe in God?
I don't. I simply present the theory. Accept it if you want, ignore it if you don't. It isn't worth getting into much of an argument. That's for another day. I have plenty of religion-based arguments, but this is a dimensional topic, not the existence (or not) of a higher being & its realm of existence.
The discussion can carry on, but here is today's word:
4/17/16 Variegated (adj.)- 1. Having discrete markings of different colors 2. Various, diverse, varied
I thought we were 3rd dimensional beings and time is the way we perceive the 4th dimension (given it's impossible for us to perceive it in a directional way.) Of course I'm pretty sure either way we're ignoring relativity since you gotta account for space-time, gravity, and shit.
Also your religious argument completely falls apart when you notice that 2 dimensional beings aren't dying and ascending to our 3rd dimensional "heaven" nor can we act as gods for the world they live in (at least knowingly.) Hell, even making the assumption that there are beings in other dimensions beyond ours in the first place isn't any different than assuming aliens live on Kepler-186f.
I think you're a little ahead of yourself. Ask and think of the right questions instead of coming up with theories based on deductions, which can be totally wrong if they're based on incorrect observations/knowledge about reality. Look at Ken Ham!
I think these Simpsons and Futurama episodes have a good summary of dimensions. The first article is just about dimensions. Aside from undergrad math and some basic cosmology readings, I don't think I can make any sound theory on dimensions. So aren't you ahead of yourselves here?

Privy... Such an outdated term... Never thought I'd see it in a situation like this! Nevertheless, is this word suggesting something? Look at the first and third definitions, which (by this logic) are synonymous. Hmmmmmmmm....
Garderobe (n.)- 1. Garderobe (n.)- 1. a wardrobe Garderobe (n.) or its contents (n.)- 1. a wardrobe 1. a wardrobe 2. a private contents room: wardrobe 2. a private bedroom 2. a 3. privy, room: bedroom toilet Garderobe (n.)

Today's word was given to me by Latios.
4/23/16 Baleughahfkshdf (?)- what does this mean?
Yes, that's a definition. No, it isn't a question to be answered. Or is it?
My dad makes up words like that and I say, "Baleughahfkshdf" and he just says that it's the word that he made up.
I don't know how I'm going to use this word in a sentence so baleughahfkshdf

4/24/16 Pluvial (adj.)- 1a. Of or relating to rain b. Characterized by abundant rain 2. of a geological change: resulting from the action of rain
How much does it rain where you live?
Seattle.
XD I love it how you can say "Seattle" and people automatically think things like that.
Fun fact: Did you know that the location that receives the most annual rainfall is Mawsynram, India? That's right! Although the numbers are disputed (as the only residents of the area are wildlife and tribal peoples, and most of the rain is brought about by monsoon), there's no doubt that if any location is "underwater", it's this one (of course, other than actual bodies of water)! This is one of only a few locations around the world at which you can see trees that have formed root bridges. They provide great transportation for the villagers, especially over creeks and such!
And with that, here's today's word:

4/26/16 Transmogrify (v.)- to change or alter greatly and often with grotesque or humorous effect
...I used this word in an On-Demand I had to write yesterday. Hm. INTERESTING! If you find On-Demands interesting, that is.
So, what's something, given the opportunity, you would like to change? Not necessarily transmogrify (although if you want...), but just change in general. And why?
Lulu! Transmogrify!
Ah, reminds me of Calvin and Hobbes :3

Quote from: Latios212 on April 26, 2016, 07:31:30 AMAh, reminds me of Calvin and Hobbes :3
Took the words right out of my mouth.
:D I grew up reading that comic strip. O' course, it wasn't in the newspaper; my grandfather (mom's side) loves the comics, too, and has most of the books, and we'd read a few comics each day. After a while, he introduced me to Garfield and Peanuts. Both of which I still read every day. AHHHHHH THE NOSTALGIA JUST HIT ME HARD
And that brings me to today's word (which doesn't have anything to do with what I just said. XD)
4/27/16 Dovecote (n.)- 1. a small compartmented raised house or box for domestic pigeons 2. a settled or harmonious group or organization
Are pigeon races still held today? Random (not entirely, though) question, but I heard about them quite recently, but I never got around to looking into it any. I know people still domesticate pigeons and raise them.
when curious George went to the top of the building at his city home there was a dovecote on top of it
Is a dovecote something that would be in Hatoful Boyfriend?
Quote from: NocturneOfShadow on April 27, 2016, 08:10:09 AMwhen curious George went to the top of the building at his city home there was a dovecote on top of it
I actually remember this
Yeah, I remember seeing that, too. Man, I had a good childhood. It was a weird childhood, but a good one. I did have conversations with my ceiling fan. Those were fun. But apparently those were WILDs and I just didn't know that.
4/28/16 Crural (adj.)- of or relating to the thigh or leg; specifically: femoral
Cross Country is a femoral sport. So is track. 4 meets left and I'll be finished with the track season! :D
You're not E Gadd with that avatar anymore
Yesterday was crural day

4/29/16 Deep-six (v.)- 1. to get rid of: discard, eliminate 2.
slang: to throw overboard
There you go, Dude, a slang word! (Sorta?)
Anyhoo, why is the number six synonymous with "getting rid of something"?
Have you heard of "eighty-sixing" something? Same idea.
Hmmmm....
What other numbers are used in non-numeric contexts?
Quote from: E. Gadd Industries on April 29, 2016, 07:02:54 AMwhy is the number six synonymous with "getting rid of something"?
It's possibly related to the term "six feet under," referring to someone who's dead, since coffins were/are traditionally six feet underground.
http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=six
Numbers in a clock can be used to describe direction or w/e if that counts. Like for example, "I've got your six" implies "I've got your back"
I've never heard "deep-six" in the American Slanguage.
Well now you have

Yes sir, won't do it ever again.
Or at least put it in a spoiler tag, I guess... I probably should have started with that lol.

Spoiler tags, that's right. That was a pretty huge. Noted and will follow correctly next time. Thank you.

5/5/16 Maffick (v.)- to celebrate with boisterous rejoicing and hilarious behavior
Hm. I would do this if I ever placed at state for Academic team. After the ceremony, of course. It's too formal in there to do something like that. :P
When was the last time you mafficked, and what led you to such an action
EDIT: I realize I'm late; I had an Algebra 2 EOC 1st & 2nd block (I normally post in 2nd). Sorry about the delay!

THAT'S A MONOPOLY, BABY!!!Dudeman, by your logic, what event is happening in Japan today? :P
5/7/16 Defile (v.)- to march in a single file past
...huh. I'll bet you thought I was talking about the defile that dealt with purity (or lack thereof!) :P
I didn't realize defile had another meaning!
And my, what a stark difference there is!
I just googled it; although spelled and pronounced the same, the two words have completely different etymologies. The defile which means "to make impure" comes from the Old English "defoul." The defile which means "to march in single file" comes from the French "dé" (away from), and "file" (column or file).
So the English version is related to befoul, eh?
Fancy!

5/10/16 Waitron (n.)- a person who waits tables (as in a restaurant): waitperson

5/12/16 Opusculum (n.)- a minor work (as of literature)

It isn't the same picture, but in that episode ("The Manta Storm") of Sirena Beach, you have to go up and talk to the hotel manager, who tells that his hotel was submerged beneath the electric goop of some paper-thin manta-thing. Right before the Phantamanta appears, the hotel manager shrieks "AIIIGH! It's back! That gossamer ghoul! Do something!"
And "The Manta Storm" starts playing as the camera shifts over to see the scene in the last pic unfold.
I hope you realize how incredibly specific and ultimately insignificant the moment you're referencing is. No one here but you was going to remember that.

5/22/16 Palinode (n.)- 1. an ode or song recanting or retracting something in an earlier poem 2. a formal retraction
In 1, would an allegory be a type of palinode?
Lol no, I think you misunderstand what an allegory is. An allegory is a work of literature where every character, element, etc. stands for something bigger. An example used quite often is how The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is allegorical towards Christianity, especially Aslan being a not-subtle-at-all representation of Jesus.
Crap, I meant allusion. XD I try to English, but all the terms for literature get confusing and jumbled (ironic, right?)
5/23/16 Tarantism (n.)- a dancing mania or malady of late medieval Europe
...
I don't know whether to find that amusing or sad...
But apparently, this word is related to Toronto, Canada Taranto, Italy, and the condition it describes is believed to have been caused by the bite of the European Wolf Spider, which for those that don't know, is also known as the Tarantula (etymological roots are fun, aren't they?). Many of those same people thought that such a hysteria could only be cured by (you guessed it) "dancing off the venom". It is said that the Italian folk dance, the "tarantella", was inspired by all of this madness.
Interesting word! And yeah, for me it's pretty sad. All that dancing for nothing, well except maybe cardio. XD
Nonsense! They danced to shake out the venom!
5/24/16 Sedulous (adj.)- 1. Involving or accomplished with careful perseverance 2. Diligent in application or pursuit
My, what a way to finish the school year: sedulously. I can say that school took precedence over most things in my life during the school year. I hate to say that, but I can say it.
5/25/16 Bifurcate (v.)- to divide or cause to divide into two branches or parts
Now that the school year is over, I'm going to try and get up early every morning & post the word, but I'm not sure how consistent that'll be. I will still post the word every day (unless I'm grounded, but I'll tell you & send someone the word to post in my place), but it may not be around the same time every day.
Things that bifurcate: Scissors, tectonic plates (divergent boundaries, of course), calculators, wars, what else?
EDIT:
Also, who would be interested in a 3DS tournament, whether it be Smash or MK7, and when would it be most convenient for you?
I actually used that word in a song recently: a bifurcating river is a river that divides into two rivers that end up in two different seas. I used rivers as a metaphor for different people's lives and time:
QuoteOur braided river's been untied
We bifurcate to different sides
I try to raise mine like the tide
To cross the great land which divides us

5/26/16 Unregenerate (adj.)- 1. Not spiritually reborn or converted 2a. Not reformed: unreconstructed b. Obstinate, stubborn
Ooh! This could be taken as a rather hostile word for someone who gets offended easily! (Not that I'm trying to offend anyone with it) But still, I think people would mostly use this word for 2b, since it is the most general and descriptive of many people.
Sounds similar to degenerate

Quote from: E. Gadd Industries on May 26, 2016, 04:51:28 AMYou write songs? That's awesome! Do you record any or just write to write?
I don't record them in a human-played way, because I don't have the tools needed for it and/or the skills (including the social skill to ask other people to sing a song) to play the parts
You can find all my songs on my soundcloud (link in my signature). I haven't yet uploaded the song with bifurcate, though.

5/29/16 Microburst (n.)- a violent short-lived localized downdraft that creates wind shears at extremely low altitudes
That's an overly sophisticated way of putting it. Here's a microburst:
(https://www.ninsheetmusic.org/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.srh.noaa.gov%2Fimages%2Fbmx%2FDaily%2Fmicrobursts%2Fanimation.gif&hash=0065e4151049d1faecc006d3214bcd0447334d66)
A terrifying mix of wind, rain, tormented souls, and pure darkness that just falls out of the sky.
Wow, that's actually pretty scary! And can't wait for your ricco to be done!
So, it's like a hurricane and a tornado combined, only it lasts shorter?
Quote from: shadowhunter301 on May 29, 2016, 09:04:36 AMSo, it's like a hurricane and a tornado combined, only it lasts shorter?
Not really. It's more like a big weather bomb that the sky drops down after saying "Say hello to my little friend". If you can't tell by the pic, it actually does kinda explode once it makes impact. Terrifying.
5/30/16 Foursquare (adj.)- 1. Square 2. Marked by boldness & conviction: forthright
1 is an arrogant definition. I don't see why you would use "Foursquare" instead of "square". Just because it's 4x the square...ier...er...? doesn't make it more square...er...ier...? than before.
5/31/16 Roorback (n.)- a defamatory falsehood published for political effect
I'm not going to say a name, because I don't have to. ;)
Egad! The roorback in this paper is quite egregious!

uhhh....that's not a palindrome...
The date, friend. The date.
EDIT: Oh, in American notation, at least. 6/1/16.
Oh God, there's an American way to say the date? Why is it backwards? Why must your country measure things in the most inane ways?
'MERRICA!!
FUCK YEAH!!
because you say june first not first june
if you do say today is first june I feel bad for you
The first of june
then it would have to be 1o6/16
What's the fourth of July then

Yeah, I never really was an aural learner. More visual than anything.
And I forgot about that! Has Spanish class taught me nothing??
¡Ay caramba!
6/2/16 Bright-line (adj.)- providing an unambiguous criterion or guideline especially in law
The way this definition is worded makes it sound better suited to be a verb...
So, I'll give an example sentence:
With the emergence of smart watch technology, various competitive events have adopted bright-line rules & regulations as to the use of said watches.
nothing about the comp rules in MTG are bright-line
I hate it when things aren't clear, it just messes everything up. And it allows for bias. :/
6/3/16 Scarify (v.)- 1. to make scratches or small cuts in 2. to lacerate the feelings of 3. to cut or soften the wall of (a seed) to hasten germination
What if you lacerate the feelings of a seed? o_O

With how many laws of physics we broke, I'm surprised we weren't kicked out before we were' XD
6/4/16 White elephant (n.)- an elephant with albinism 1. Property requiring much care and expense and yielding little profit 2. An object no longer of value to its owner but of value to others
Rest In Peace, Muhammad Ali.
Going with 2, what are some white elephants you've owned?

White elephant parties at Christmas time are the best
I've heard of those, but I personally haven't participated in them.
Quote from: NocturneOfShadow on June 04, 2016, 01:15:11 PMI prefer the term White Loxodon
I wonder if that could be an alternate use? XD maybe if you used it enough
6/5/16 Coffle (n.)- a line of slaves or animals fastened together
I don't really have much of anything to say for this one. So, there's the word!
Shows how slaves were looked at long ago
Yeah, that does provide a pretty accurate mental image of what the typical day in the slave trade looked like.
6/6/16 Fimbriated (adj.)- having the edge or extremity bordered by slender processes: fringed
I have never heard fringe described as a slender process... What an interesting way of wording it!
6/7/16 Hoick (v.)- to move or pull abruptly: yank

I have manaphy from pokemon ranger \0/

Quote from: NocturneOfShadow on June 07, 2016, 01:44:18 PMwhyyyy does everyone think fludd is an alt
Because he rarely posts. He's more of the arranging type (although he's waiting to upload some of his works until he has a fair amount)
Quote from: shadowkirby on June 07, 2016, 11:12:53 AM6/7/16 Phallus (n.)- A representation of a PENIS

I was wondering if someone would say that. XD
Sorry, though, but I (mostly) go by the calendar.
6/8/16 Chinoiserie (n.)- a style in art (as in decoration) reflecting Chinese qualities or motifs; also: an object or decoration in this style
A word describing Chinese decor... with a French pronunciation... Most curious indeed...

Quote from: E. Gadd Industries on June 07, 2016, 02:20:04 PMBecause he rarely posts. He's more of the arranging type (although he's waiting to upload some of his works until he has a fair amount)
In addition, it's because he just posts random stuff that is irrelevant, and his sig, not to mention his bad grammar.
I try to tie in my responses with the day's word, so while it may seem random to you, it isn't at all to me. If you would like, I could explain how they relate. Also, I know E. Gadd irl, and so that's why I have that in my sig. And besides, what makes you think my grammar would make me an alt of E. Gadd's? My poor grammar is my reflection of my lack of care, especially with it being summer break. But back to the alt thing, if he was trying to hide this account (if it were an alt), he wouldn't have made the sig like that, and he probably couldn't bring himself to type in the terrible grammar I use, and if he wasn't, why would he make one in the first place?
:)
o_O Uhhhh...
Today's word! Right!
6/9/16 Zero-sum (adj.)- of, relating to, or being s situation in which a gain for one side entails a corresponding loss for the other side
So every non-little kid sporting event! Honestly, I think participation awards are a waste of time & money.
Well participation awards kinda are a waste. But they are meant to make people feel special even though they lost ( they often don't even manage that purpose though).

Most of the time, kids focus on the fun they have. If they're young enough, they don't even care much about competing in sports (e. g., my sister in her first 2-3 seasons of soccer)
6/10/16 Retronym (n.)- a term consisting of a noun and a modifier which specifies the original meaning of the noun

6/11/16 Dissemble (c.)- 1. To hide under a false appearance 2. To put on the appearance of: simulate
Hey! There's a word that applies to every last one of us here! Well, most of us.
I don't hide under a false appearance! Well, if you can consider my Miiverse post a false appearance, then I guess I do.
XD So your name irl is cashwarrior1, and you look like a sketch of some music notes, a mushroom, tri-force, and pokeball?
She tends to injure other players quite often, but other than that I think she is good. Keep in mind I haven't went to watch her soccer stuff in forever due to my band stuff and all the other stuff I keep up with ;D
XD I'm the same way. I haven't gone to one of my sister's soccer games in a while, mostly due to schoolwork. But anyways, yeah, soccer is a pretty violent sport, more so than most others (although rugby...)
And then there's cross country.
6/12/16 Haptic (adj.)- 1. relating to or based on the sense of touch 2. characterized by a predilection for the sense of touch

In other news, my Dropbox may be hacked. I'm going to do some IP stuff to look into it a bit further. I don't think it's a problem, but if it is hacked, I'll need to do something about that.
EDIT: Here's what gets me: my phone has its IP address & it checks out with the one on DB, but it says my phone is in Paducah, given the IP. Well, there were two PCs logged into my DB, one from Paducah, the other from Madisonville (which is MUCH closer). I'll have to see what the heck's going on.
It's probably witchcraft E. Gadd ;D jk lol. There must definitely be a logical explanation.
FLUDD, are you hacking my DB again?
6/16/16 Gibe (v.)- to utter taunting words: to deride or tease with taunting words

6/20/16 Frankenfood (n.)- genetically engineered food
McDonalds, Burger King, school cafeteria food, what else?
Gosh I hate GMOs.
Gmos are fine. The people who hate them are the people who don't understand them. Their only drawback is that they stop natural diversity, but we've already done that with selective breeding.
I always laugh a little when I see something that says "No GMOs!" because if it was truly never genetically modified it probably wouldn't hardly be edible.
Time to edumucatify the people on the virtues of GMOs!
CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP I ALMOST FORGOT TO DO THIS

6/24/16 Inculcate (v.)- to teach and impress by frequent repetitions or admonitions
That confuses me, but then again, I'm not thinking too hard about it. I've been on the road/walking around in a flea market all day, so needless to say, I'm not really in the mood for thinking.

6/26/16 Legerity (n.)- alert facile quickness of mind or body
I don't know what all of you believe, but today, I heard God speak to me in church service. He said "<my name here, my name here>" during the intro prayer.

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).
the abbreviation for centimeters is just cm, no need for capitals
Crap! I picked up that habit from my chemistry teacher, who would deduct points if you didn't have it spelled cM.
...and s/he calls him/herself a chemistry teacher? ???
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.

EDIT: No one likes her.
She is still teaching because she runs literal everything for the school. Like all the senior stuff, math and science club, and the dance team (which is one of the only things we have that's better than north (Our rival school across town) at something.)
Stupid teachers are stupid
Quote from: Latios212 on July 08, 2016, 05:09:49 PMthis is truly legendary
Yeah, but not in a good way!
To add onto what FLUDD said, she's also past retirement age, so she isn't going anywhere until she wants to.
7/9/16 Louche (adj.)- not reputable or decent
This is perfect for describing my chemistry teacher. She isn't reputable except with the school board.

See? You feel my pain!
7/10/16 Quincunx (n.)- an arrangement of five things in a square or rectangle with one at each corner and one in the middle

Quote from: E. Gadd Industries on July 21, 2016, 04:36:43 PM7/21/16 Mangonel (n.)- (formerly) any of various military engines for throwing large stones, darts, and other missiles
I believe it's "(large stones), (darts), and (other missiles)," not "large (stones), (darts), and (other missiles)," especially because darts are, by definition, small. That being said, I assumed the inclusion of "darts" in the definition is at least somewhat erroneous.
I can't really find a definite source for darts, but it seems that a lot of things were used for the mangonel. It's principal goal was to damage castle or fortress walls, so darts seem unlikely, but there have been cases where dead bodies where thrown to the enemy to intimidate and demoralize them, and also to spread disease amongst them.
All I'm going to say is that I use Library of Babel to generate the random word for me, and I go to dictionary.com to define it. If it can't, I look elsewhere. But imo, it looks like a mangonel was a term used to describe a wide range of machine, all of which being capable of shooting projectiles on some scale or other. So anything from a blowgun to a trebuchet & catapult.

The hoary dragoon lurched across the battlefield from his fallen and oozing mount with steps that suggested a cantankerous, begrudging, and wholeheartedly phoned-in passion. Even the subtleties in the way he held his weapon did not belie his lack of energy, will, and desire. His advanced age was apparent to all who stood in his path, and he was somewhat avoided by those he came upon; likewise, the hoary old dragoon never ceased to march forward, as if his cup of afternoon tea lie on the other side of the stretches of blood-soaked mud around him, and these squabbling boys were only mere tokens in his way.

It didn't start as a game.
Dudeman should probably move it...
why specifically me tho
I'd move it if not for the fact that:
Quote from: E. Gadd Industries on January 16, 2017, 04:29:25 PMIt didn't start as a game.
Whether or not people post corruptions of the definitions, E. Gadd made this thread to post a new word each day, which isn't inherently a game. If the re-defining trend stops, then it stops being a game, and then we have to move it back. Idk. Maybe if this is still happening in a month I'd move it.
We can always move it back.
Plus, as of today, the topic sounds more like a game than anything...
I'm just going to post a word, and that's it. What anyone else does is solely up to them, and I'm not going to sway them one way or another.

But the thread has been re-purposed into a game. The bold sounds like exactly what you should do tbh.
Is it really a necessity to move it?
Why wouldn't it be?
The main purpose of this topic is defining words. The game is just icing on the cake...if you will.
I don't really think it's a huge deal; not earth-shattering or anything. Maybe they'll decide to move it in the future, but I don't think it's something to die on the hill over.

This isn't a discussion, it's a game.
Honestly, the fact that there is a "winner" is proof enough that it's a game.

Your move.
Yes.
but why tho
Also I'm just going to point out that although the sprite can technically fit under NES limitations, it does waste a lot of texture space and uses up more sprites than it should.
I hope I become Dudeman's new favorite.
One does not just make a bunch of Dudeman-based things and becomes Dudeman's new favourite.
I agree. Your spriting is appreciated, but needs work.

Texture space?
More so animation space than texture space, but essentially:
Every sprite and block is comprised of 8 x 8 pixel tiles. Only a certain amount of these can be loaded into the memory bank of a screen at once, so it is up to the artists to confine their textures to suit these. Sprites are more lenient than blocks, as they can use the 8 x 8 tiles in more unique ways (as opposed to being restricted to 2(8) x 2(8) "blocks"), but in exchange there can only be half as many sprite tiles in the memory bank for a hallway (because Mega Man himself (and Rush) takes up the other half). Often only a few different kinds of sprites appear in a hallway because of this. In a boss scenario, the boss (including their projectiles and animation frames) take up all of these texture frames, but are still restricted as a result of being large. Like other sprites, boss sprites take up as much of each individual tile as they can (as opposed to wasting 3/4 of one), and so they are able to have maximum efficiency. Your sprite as it stands right now is 20 x 27, which are strange numbers to be using for boss textures. Examine the dimensions of typical Mega Man boss to realise this fully.
A memory bank contains 16(8) x 16(8) pixels.
I have not even discussed palette limitations yet. That is for another class.

Could you edit the idle sprite to show me what you mean? I'm still lost.
I would, but I'm really bad at art (as of now anyway. I'm trying).
I think, in essence, a sprite should have dimensions divisible by four, right? If blocks are 4x4 at their smallest (that's how I understand what you wrote), then you'd want to use up a space that's a multiple of 4x4 as efficiently as possible.
Blocks are spaces of 2(8) x 2(8), also known as 2(tiles) by 2(tiles). A sprite can be any number of tiles. Sorry for confusion.
Was the stage theme appropriate for you, Dudeman?
This might help ease confusion:
(https://www.ninsheetmusic.org/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FdCyx5Zn.png&hash=c52377c5576b242143ea40c0f405aa2b66897505)
They actually come in pairs (top half and bottom half), which allow for more unique enemy sets, although some enemies require both halves.
Try to recreate a frame of Magnet Man from these textures, and realise how sprites differ from blocks.

Yeah, how dare people be too lazy to put an accent over the e in Pokémon! Especially Americans! I can't believe Americans, and only Americans, are too lazy to type one word with an uncommon character! The world is doomed!
Not only Americans are lazy. Every country has lazy people. Americans are unnecessarily stereotyped to be worse, although it's not true.
To be fair a lot of other languages probably already have the accented e on their keyboards but the point remains

Just a random thought: what about a separate game where you take a false definition out of context from this thread each day and guess what the word could be? (obviously not the same one)
An example of what I'm on about:
Quote from: ThatHiddenCharacter on April 25, 2017, 03:51:23 PM- Don't let the Flubber escape!
(Insert funny word here) - Don't let the Flubber escape!
Sound interesting or not really? It's obviously quite similar to this but hey ho.
Ehh.
That's my opinion.
Hmmm... seems to me like it would be a bit difficult. Unless you're taking the definition from this thread, in which case I guess that would be cool. Idrk, that would be one of those things where you just try it & see what people do. Unless this gets opposition. Then don't do that.
Quote from: AmpharosAndy on April 27, 2017, 03:38:02 PMSound interesting or not really? It's obviously quite similar to this but hey ho.
I like the idea. It's the opposite of EGWotD. I'm assuming you'd like to run it. (If not, I'd be glad to start the project myself. Assuming you mean someone posts a definition from this thread daily and people give different words and whoever has the best wins the next day. If so, it should be a definition from the day before in EGWotD. EGWotD. I just wanted to say it again.)
OH WAIT WAIT I GET IT NOW!!! I was confused at first. Uhh... was Andy wanting to host it?
Quote from: E. Gadd Industries on April 27, 2017, 06:12:11 PMUhh... was Andy wanting to host it?
That's what I want to know. If not, I really want to do it. It could be THC's Definition of the Day. Or if he wants to host, Andy's Definition of the Day. (The first has a better ring to it.)
Quote from: ThatHiddenCharacter on April 27, 2017, 06:15:44 PM(The first has a better ring to it.)
Nope, no bias to see here, folks! :P
Anyhoo, if Andy doesn't want to, then by all means go ahead. I think it'll be a fun idea, and a cool offshoot for this thread. (Just so long as I don't host it. WotD is enough for me :P)
THC D o' th' D sounds good to me. I'm not up to running a thread consistently anyhoo ;)
Quote from: AmpharosAndy on April 28, 2017, 01:14:57 AMTHC D o' th' D sounds good to me. I'm not up to running a thread consistently anyhoo ;)
Then it shall be started today. I will give Andy credit for coming up with the idea. I will also mention that it's alright with E. Gadd. It will probably be started around 3:00-4:00 EST (EDT to those who don't live in in the time zone and want to call it the different name during daylight saving time.) One question. Should I use the winning definition from the previous word for the definition or a definition of my choice?
It's your thread, you decide which definition should be used. Our ideas of the best definition will be different.
Anyhoo, I'll definitely try to participate in that game!
Quote from: ThatHiddenCharacter on April 28, 2017, 04:02:38 AMShould I use the winning definition from the previous word for the definition or a definition of my choice?

like you have a 1/3 chance of picking a prize
then you have a 1/2 chance of picking a prize, but not really
switching doors should not have an effect on the outcome yet it somehow does

The important thing to remember is that Monty
has to open a door with a goat behind it. If the door that was opened was entirely random, there wouldn't be this weird probability change. But since the door that opens always has a goat behind it, then there's a 2/3 chance that Monty didn't pick the other door because it had the prize behind it.
