Sredni Vashtar · 2013-05-22 02:35:00

As did I.

This is going to be a very fun thread!

Salix Babylonika · 2013-05-22 02:36:08

if someone was a magic creditor could you call them a....

:sunglasses:

CREOMANCER?

Obā-san · 2013-05-22 02:37:48

I read "creditor" as "redditor."

Wouldn't a magic Redditor be a Red Mage?

Sorry Link, I can't give credit! Come back when you're a little... HMMMMMM... richer!

can tomorrow's word be 'skeuomorphic'?

Obā-san · 2013-05-22 12:26:52

I love that word.

skeu·o·morph [skyoo-uh-mawrf]

noun

an ornament or design on an object copied from a form of the object when made from another material or by other techniques, as an imitation metal rivet mark found on handles of prehistoric pottery.

sunn wolf · 2013-05-22 12:30:45

yes its a great word. i just love how it sounds

its apparently a bit technology-buzzwordy, but that meant that it fits incredibly well into my ongoing project wherein i am trying to construct a poem made entirely of buzzwords/corporate jargon

Obā-san · 2013-05-22 12:31:07

That sounds pretty cool.
