Sorry Tikkiee, but I have a great word...I'm reading Ahba's Wife... incarnadine

bandit25 -> RE: Word Fight (4/28/2006 6:00:41 PM)
That's what I get for not proofreading...Ahab's Wife

Lordandmaster -> RE: Word Fight (4/28/2006 8:59:07 PM)
Pyxis is a constellation and in Greek it means "box." If it has another meaning in English, I don't know it.

bandit25 -> RE: Word Fight (4/29/2006 12:42:47 AM)
Oh great. I can't sleep and there's no word.

Tikkiee -> RE: Word Fight (4/29/2006 5:10:40 AM)
Nope, that was it LAM. Your turn [:)]

Lordandmaster -> RE: Word Fight (4/29/2006 2:59:57 PM)
"preconcertion"

mathiasdomm -> RE: Word Fight (4/29/2006 5:30:32 PM)
I think it would be "the act of agreeing" "copasetic"- (my favorite song)

Lordandmaster -> RE: Word Fight (4/29/2006 5:43:06 PM)
That's slang. Am I the only person who thinks we should eliminate slang words? If everyone else wants to include them, it's OK with me, but my vote would be no. Edited to add: Anyway, on that note, the next word is "argot."

Tikkiee -> RE: Word Fight (4/29/2006 8:05:46 PM)
quote: argot LMAO thats the way a certain group of people talk "Kaapenaar" On a side note, I agree. Let's leave slang out of it :)

Lordandmaster -> RE: Word Fight (4/29/2006 9:58:22 PM)
Didn't know "kaapenaar," and I can't imagine too many people know it outside of Africa, but it's in OED. I guess you go again, unless someone knows "kaapenaar."

mathiasdomm -> RE: Word Fight (4/29/2006 10:22:47 PM)
I never knew that word was slang, but I checked it out and you guys are right. Origin undeterminable, says the American Heritage Dictionary. I couldn't find it in the OED, but mine's old. I think kaapenaar is somebody from the South African coast. It might be a South African ethnic group, but I'm not sure. I had actually never heard the word before last night, but I had dinner with some African history scholars and they used the term. I'm inferring the definition I'm putting here. Hell yeah human rights conferences.

I agree. Let's leave out slang.

Lordandmaster -> RE: Word Fight (4/30/2006 10:57:21 AM)
"Kaapenaar" also refers to someone who lives in Cape Town. Gehenna is a place like hell. Next one..."comfrey" quote: ORIGINAL: Tikkiee Kaapenaar is a South African fish [8D] "gehenna"

bandit25 -> RE: Word Fight (4/30/2006 11:04:47 AM)
Comfrey is an herb...not sure what kind...

Tikkiee -> RE: Word Fight (4/30/2006 1:22:21 PM)
quote: ORIGINAL: bandit25 Comfrey is an herb...not sure what kind... You are right [:)] It's used in healing.

Lordandmaster -> RE: Word Fight (4/30/2006 1:36:41 PM)
Yup, your turn, bandit.

mathiasdomm -> RE: Word Fight (4/30/2006 3:10:22 PM)
