The "Exhilarating Word" Game

[Musicroxmysox]

Adventure some, as in climbing Mount Everest.

Sanguinary

 

[LD_Tickler]

Bloody, or otherwise having to do with bleeding.

Asinine.

 

[Mister Scruff]

"Sanguinary" actually means war-like, belligerent or likely to end in bloodshed.

Asinine means stupid in a very basic way, without any rationality or common sense. Pouring straight hot water on your car windows to clear the ice from them is a bit silly; pouring cold water on them would be asinine. It more literally means "donkey-like" >_<




Mu

 

[Musicroxmysox]

Mu- the 12th letter of the Greek Alphabet

(I'm an Sigma Alpha Iota!)

Next word:

Ophicleide

 

[Mister Scruff]

Mu- the 12th letter of the Greek Alphabet

(I'm an Sigma Alpha Iota!)

Next word:

Ophicleide

^ One o' dems. Deformed tuba/ saxophone thing. I'm going to admit to not knowing that one until I wikiped'd it >_<


Passerine

Passerine: A type of bird family

Inconsequential

 

[David Presents]

Of no importance.

Hemidemisemiquaver.

 

[Dave2112]

Ahh...a musical word. Better get to this before Mel does.

A hemidemisemiquaver is a Sixty-fourth note.

Oblique (Not too hard, I just love the word)

 

[Mister Scruff]

Obscure, difficult, tangental... sort of thing. It's also a term used to describe angles greater than 90 degrees (if I remember my geometery lessons :-O) and it's also the first part of a name for an abdominal muscle.





Peshmerga.

 

[Musicroxmysox]

Kurdish fighters "those who face death."


Onommtopoeia

 

[David Presents]

A creation of a word for what it sounds like, such as boom or swish.

Eleemosynary.

 

[Mister Scruff]

A person who survives on hand-outs from others, like the old friars in mediaeval times.






Shemhamphorasch

 

[Dave2112]

If I remember the religious teaching crammed down my throat in my childhood days, this has something to do with the numerous true names of God or something. Was there not supposed to be some "magic formula" or some such related to a number that represents God's true name?


Hyperrelativity

 

[Gothika]

This is prolly very wrong, but damn you picked a hard one, it wasn't one you could just go cut and paste a definition for, but i did lots of super fun learning stuff:

E.V=Mc2

A theory that expands/encompasses the general theory of relativity making room for higher speeds/volumes of energy such as the speed of light. Essentially, Hyper-Relativity is bowl of milk in which the general relativity cheerios float around in. How's that for a girl answer.

Antidisestablishmentarianism


Crap, i forgot he was still logged in.. neat, i turned goth into a nerd

 

[Mister Scruff]

Antidisestablishmentarianism

The opposition to the disestablishment of the Church of England as the UK's dominant religion. Or something.





Scrofula

 

[Dave2112]

Scrofula is a type of tuberculosis that affects the lymph nodes.

BTW, I was wondering about "Goth's" answer to the hyperrelativity question! HA! And I love the "bowl of milk/Cheerios" explanation. Couldn't have said it better my own self!

Erudite

 

[Mister Scruff]

Learned and wise.





Hirsute.

floccinaucinihilipilification

Kinda
The true definition of the word is: The action or habit of judging something to be worthless.

absquatulate

 

[Dave2112]

There's a colloquial meaning to the word that, honestly, I either cannot remember or just don't know. However, it also is another word for dying.

Ok, here's one just to piss you all off. One that everyone knows but is very difficult to easily define off the top of your head.

[NukeLaloosh]

"Be" in the third person
