That's a book in the Old Testament; if it has another meaning, I don't know it.



Tikkiee -> RE: Word Fight (4/15/2006 5:24:51 PM)

It is a book of the Bible or it is a  Hebrew Priest; I was actually referring to the priest [:)]
 
Your turn

"synaesthesia"



Tikkiee -> RE: Word Fight (4/15/2006 5:39:57 PM)

LOL
"synaesthesia" is the abilitly of individuals to actually SEE sounds and HEAR colors; to use an example....a musician not only hears the sound of the music he creates, he can also SEE it in color. Another would be the ability of a blind person to 'draw' or 'paint' a perfect picture of the ocean, having never seen what one looked like.

Smile...yes...your turn.

"Rheology"

new word: succor



Lordandmaster -> RE: Word Fight (4/15/2006 10:20:24 PM)

We're doing "rheology," which looks like a medical term.  I don't know it.

"To succor" means to provide nourishment (either physical or emotional).

Edited to add: "ithyphallic," by the way, doesn't refer to the art itself, but specifically to a subject in art with an erect penis.  And, in fact, it's not limited to art.  You could speak of an "ithyphallic" participant in a primitive religious rite, for example.  That just means some guy with a big erection.

deformation and flow of matter, I think...



TxBadMan -> RE: Word Fight (4/15/2006 10:24:22 PM)

Rheology is the study of how matter flows

Close enough



FootQueen -> RE: Word Fight (4/15/2006 10:25:53 PM)

Sorry.... rheology= study of deformation and flow of matter
 
But succor, is to help or relieve when in difficulty, want, or distress as in to aid.



Lordandmaster -> RE: Word Fight (4/15/2006 10:31:24 PM)

That's an interesting point, because Dictionary.com agrees with you, but I've never thought "succor" has to be limited to times of difficulty, and OED agrees with me.  So somewhere along the line there seems to have been a little a dispute among lexicographers--and that's inherently interesting.

OED's definitions are pretty straightforward:

quote:

1. trans. To help, assist, aid (a person, etc.).  [With examples going back to ca. 1250.]
2. To furnish with military assistance; to bring reinforcements to; spec. to relieve (a besieged place).
3. To relieve or remedy (a state of want, weakness, etc.); to relieve (a diseased condition). Obs.
4. To shelter, protect. Now dial.
5. Naut. To strengthen, make firm or taut.


Dictionary.com, by contrast, lists only one verbal meaning:

quote:

Assistance in time of distress; relief.


I'd be inclined to take out the "in time of distress."

Edited to add: Whose turn is it now?
