Ok, so, I was looking in the dictionary for the word conspitulations, and I could not find it. So, it made me wonder.....what year is this dictionary, anyway?? I found out that it is probably a 1976 edition of "The American Heritage Dictionary Of The English Language". Wow!! So THAT made me wonder......what kind of weird new words have I picked up from people that I know, without knowing it? I found several. If you have heard some of these, try looking them up in an old dictionary.....like mine!!!
Conspitulations, fully, totally, WOE??? WOE= what on earth......um....ok, I got that one out of mine own private dictionary/vocabulary in my head!!!
But I have yet to find conspitulations in ANY dictionary. If you find it, tell me what it means!!!! Please.:D]
However...I found THIS word in the dictionary...fulgurate. It means to give off or seem to give off flashes of lightning. And then, I found this one...isentropic. Now what on earth is THAT one supposed to mean?? I checked...it means: without change in entropy; at constant entropy. Now whats that supposed to mean? So I looked up entropy: A measure of the capacity of a system to undergo spontaneous change, thermodynamically specified by the relationship dS=dQ/T (????), where dSis an infinitesimal change in the measure for a heat system absorbing an infinitesimal quantity of heat dQ at absolute temperature T. Did that make ny sense to you at all? So I thought, what does infinitesimal mean?? Then I thought, I probably don't want to know!!! so I looked up the next weird word: Euonymus. How in the world are you even supposed to pronounce it??
I didn't try.:D It meant, any of various trees, shrubs, or vines of the genus euonymus.Ok, whatever. So now what? I don't know. I don't really want to look up any more weird words because I am afraid of what I'll find.... like.....euxenite! That one is mineral, but I am not saying any thing else!!
P.S. Where was happiness NOT found today?
The dictionary.
good night, veiwers of my blog!! I am going to maybe go to bed...or read the dictionary and get myself sick.:D
