how very appropriate

Sapiosexual

When you get moisty, aroused, or just attracted by the other persons intelligence or his/hers cerebralness. Sort of mindmeld for humans :-)

However, there's a "list" I found on the internet that I thought were quite funny, in how one knows he/she is sapiosexual:
1. You rate the library more happening place than parties.
2. You love to argue and the people around you think that you’ll make a damned fine lawyer.
3. You are turned on by sesquipedalian ways (use of long words).
4. You believe that the brain needs more exercise than body.
5. If someone tells you that you’re beautiful, you don’t believe them thinking it’s in their mind.
6. Your ultimate ways of relaxing are either with coffee & books or a night out at theater/opera.
7. You believe in the existence of a 3rd kind of universal cinema – ones that make “intelligent” movies.
8. Your kind of travelling to places is the one which is educational, inspirational and visionary.
9. Reading books is placed in the category of ‘pleasure’.
10. You are fond of art and love to visit art galleries – to the utter annoyance of others.

A bit clichè, but I personally can't stand "art" :-p

whimsical - playfully quaint or fanciful

Can you please provide more simple definition? :-)

Thank you very much :-)

Ombrophobia : An abnormal fear of rain.


Pluviophile : Someone that loves the rain, and finds both joy and peace of mind on rainy days.

albeit - although

I'd say it more means "even though", so DProject's use of it was to point out that he was going to clear out his backlog, even though it was quite small. However that's still not quite accurate. Perhaps easier to think of it as the collection off words that make it - All be it.

Hm, I wonder why I haven't heard about this word before. At first I though it's a German word :P Thanks for the clarification! :-)

Just so that you know, 'even though' or 'although' are more formal interpretations. A less formal meaning would be 'though':

"my current (*though* small) backlog"

I learned some new words as well this month:

Theodicy: the question of how there can be evil in the world if God is good.

Bathos: a drop in formal diction or a sudden descent from something lofty to something trite.

Prevaricate: to speak or write evasively/deviate from the truth.

Inveterate: firmly established over a long period, deep-rooted.

The annoying thing about prevaricate is that it's also used to mean something close to vacillate. The OED has: 'To behave evasively or indecisively so as to delay action; to procrastinate. Now the usual sense.'

Ass

Seriously i just cannot get over that. What's wrong with you english people.

You think it's asinine?
