Yowe Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I want to know what the above three words mean but I'm too lazy to look it up. Can someone do it for me? please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trout Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I knew two of them. A polyglot being "Mr Herning" himself .. as in someone that can speak a shedload of languages! And Tantalus was the son of Zeus ... which I actually googled on just to make sure and ended up finding out more stuff that I didn't!! Funny that! In Greek mythology Tantalus (Greek Τάνταλος) was a son of Zeus and the nymph Plouto ("riches"), not to be confused with the god of the underworld. Check it all out here The other .. well there we go ... had to check that one from the beginning! A neologism is a word, term, or phrase which has been recently created ("coined") — often to apply to new concepts, or to reshape older terms in newer language form. Neologisms are especially useful in identifying inventions, new phenomena, or old ideas which have taken on a new cultural context. Ya big lazy geeit!

Birsey Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Albumen. Not a word I find slipping into conversation very often, but a mighty splendid word never the less. Aggregate. It seems I like words beginning with A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pert Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 it's more of a contraption with a lock bottles aren't secure. my flat's awash with empty ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distortio Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 sir, what you need is some kind of tantalus. (if you can get one that does socks, old cans of beans, mouldy coffee cups and general clutter you'll be sorted) not sure about the wisdom of putting a lock on it though, could be problematic trying to retrieve your prize wobble juice if you're already half munted.
