Does anyone know from where addressing strangers as 'love' (or 'luv') come? I get that sort of thing a lot but I don't think it's exclusively Australian.
Although apparantly there was a very similar patent for a pen that could write on leather held by a gentleman named John Loud a couple of decades or so before (please correct me if I'm mistaken).
I've never been swooped by a magpie before. I have, however, witnessed my brother victim to such an incident. I imagine it would be a very unpleasant to say the least.
Australia. NSW, more specifically, and if it helps I was on the coast. It's hard to say whether the bird was big or small. I fancied it was small, but that was just me assuming things. It certainly made quite a loud noise.
Hey-- I'm not sure about the limit of your expertise when it comes to birds, but I was hiking the other day and heard the most bizarre birdcall you could ever imagine. It came out as a very distinct and very loud:"OI!"
I'll tell you what, it gave me a shock!
It's a very vague description, but you wouldn't have any idea of what type of bird it was, would you?
'I think the other piece of the answer is that the most important part of my salutation is not the denotation of the words, but rather the tone of voice in which I say them.'
I think this is a very accurate observation. Sometimes when I've said 'hi' on it's own people think I'm being cold or dismissing their greeting. It's much easier to say 'hi there' or some other, slightly longer greeting to sound warm. I've always found 'hi' unbalanced and difficult to say with a grin on your face.
As for the use of artichoke as a greeting, I'd probably cry indignantly, "What did you call me?!" then promptly call you an avocado.

Can anyone enlighten me on what makes a novel a classic?
I've read that: 'A novel can be called a classic when there is a significant time period between its publishing
and the current age we are in...as well as critically renowned as a good novel.'
Now, does that 'critically' mean by formal critics? or renowned critically? (is there a difference?) If it is the latter, there are a lot of trashy novels (such as Twilight) that are renowned critically by many, but are definately not worth being a classic in the future. On the other hand, if the case is the former, I guess you could argue that just because a book is renowned by critics doesn't mean it's popular, and does an unpopular book deserve to be a classic? I can't think of any examples off the top of my mind, but I am sure there are many.
I could be mistaken about the whole thing. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
My Filo relatives described the taste (with much difficulty) the other day. The first word that came to their minds was 'Heavenly', then they went on to detail tapping the egg to find a hollow section and, after breaking it open, slurping out the clear fluid which is, apparantly, like soup. Then, you peel the shell away and eat the yellow followed by the chick, of which you can still discern the beak.
It still tastes like meat, salty and sort of squishy, but 'yum'.

I am so confused. All these double letters and meanings are making my head spin. I'm glad I don't have to be a guru or hoodookeeper or--what was it?--a voodoozoozoozooboobookraccoonnookkeeper. I probably couldn't be one even if I wanted too.

'Monseigneur was about to take his chocolate... Yes. It took four men, all four a-blaze with gorgeous decoration, and the Chief of them unable to exist with fewer than two gold watches in his pocket, emulative of the noble and chaste fashion set by Monseigneur, to conduct the happy chocolate to Monseigneur's lips. One lacquey carried the chocolate-pot into the sacred presence; a second, milled and frothed the chocolate with the little instrument he bore for that function; a third, presented the favoured napkin; a fourth (he of the two gold watches), poured the chololate out. It was impossible for Monseigneur to dispense with one of these attendants on the chocolate and hold his high place under the admiring Heavens. Deep would have been the blot upon his escutcheon if his cholocate had been ignobly waited on by only three men; he must have died of two.'
Hunger was pushed out of the tall houses, in the wretched clothing that hung upon poles and lines; Hunger was patched into them with straw and rag and wood and paper; Hunger was repeated in every fragment of the small modicum of firewood that the man sawed off; Hunger stared down from the smokeless chimneys, and started up from the filthy street that had no offal, among its refuse, of anything to eat. Hunger was the inscription on the baker's shelves, written in every small loaf of his scanty stock of bad bread; at the sausage-shop, in every dead-dog preparation that was offered for sale. Hunger rattled its dry bones among the roasting chestnuts in the turned cylinder; Hunger was shred into atomies in every fathing porringer of husky chips of potatio, fried with some reluctant drops of oil.
'The monotonous rocking fo the boat, and the murmur of the water, had somewhat stupefied the unhappy Claude.

According to Wikipedia, trichophagia is the '...compulsive eating of hair. Most often, long hair is masticated (chewed) while still attached to the head and then swallowed.'
So I guess that pretty rules out mustaches and cropped hair.

Until recently, I had always thought the lyric from Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody: 'Spare him his life from this monstrosity' was 'Spare him his life for some warm saucy tea'.

As to 'nineteen three' vs. 'nineteen oh three', I noticed that as well, but took it as a slip of the tongue. I haven't heard it anywhere else before or since.
'Phoebus had returned to lean over the back of the chair of his betrothed; a charming situation whence his libertine gaze could invade every opening in Fleur-de-Lys's collarette. This collarette gaped so opportunely, and revealed to him so many exquisite things and led him to divine so many others, that Phoebus, dazzled by this skin...said to himself, "How can one love any but a fair skin?"'

If you're feeling very brave, try spreading some on cheese. Make sure you don't put too much! Otherwise, I'd go for nice white bread or toast. Use a lot of butter/ margarine but down drown it out either. And don't get too worried because it's really not as bad as everyone makes it out to be.
"Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty — a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show. The true spirit of delight, the exaltation, the sense of being more than Man, which is the touchstone of the highest excellence, is to be found in mathematics as surely as poetry."
"Now this is weird. Rubik Cube Mp3 Player has been blessed with the looks of a Rubik`s cube puzzle that you need to solve in order to operate the player. Each layer you solve will have a different function for you like play, pause, forward or back.

A foodle is essentially a fork (a set also comes with a knife and spoon) with no handle. Rather, it has a hollow neck into which a pencil can be inserted and hence the cross between food and doodle.
"The ‘In-Formed’ fork shows consumption rates of different countries. By labeling each prong with a different country’s name, the designer has shown American consumption compared to that in Belarus. This calorie count cutlery is an interesting way to remind people to think of their consumption rates. "
I should hope they are documented, even if they're just telephone numbers and orders. Interestingly, we have transcribed many Ancient Egyptian shopping lists that were originally written on papyrus, though they have been of little use to any historian. However, I imagine that the people of Evinston would be very interested in the history of their city and I have always found that the most seemingly trivial of writings are the ones that tell you the most about the people. Especially when you can actually see the handwriting.
Does da have a separate meaning? Or does it just add to solo?
The first definition (according to the American Heritage Dictionary) is 'without companions; lone'. You could be in a room chock full of people and not have a single companion.
And even if you did, but had no connection with them you are still in a sense, alone and may very well be lonely.

'The funeral clown was paid to dress up as the dead person, wear a mask of his face, and dance about acting like him. The Romans believed that this would placate the spirits of the dead and bring joy to the living. As the funeral processed, the funeral clown would run alongside the corpse with other clowns making jokes and mimicking the dead. Some clowns were very highly regarded and even got to mock the emperor at his funeral. They were well paid and an oddly happy diversion from the clowns regular job as the head of a mime troupe.'
I'd watch out it I were you, because I might just pull an imaginary gun out of my imaginary holster and shoot you with a very real anti-spammer bullet.
Haha. Actually, this list has been on hold for a while because I wasn't (and still aren't) sure which poisons to include and which ones to leave out. I mean, if I were to add every poison in the world, you might as well go read the official lists and then I'd have to find where to draw the line between poisonous and non-poisonous, considering water and sugar are also poisons just to name a few. It all depends on the amount ingested.
I suppose you could consider these 'my favourites' but at some stage, I'll probably get around to refining the list and making it more specific
You have to be careful with snarkmarks. They have to be crispy but not crunchy, and sweet but not sugary. I prefer to use a good snortmark myself, but they don't really have the same effect as a sarcmark either. They're a lot less spicy.
Cavendish Bananas are named in honour of William Cavendish, 6th Duke of Devonshire, who acquired an early specimen, and from whose hothouses the cultivars were developed for commercial exploitation worldwide.
'Does your Pepsi lack pep? Is your Coke not the real thing? India's Hindu nationalist movement apparently has the answer: a new soft drink made from cow urine...'
'A Paris-based fashion designer created an entire collection of edible clothes made out of bread. Jean-Paul Gaultier made everything from haute couture shoes to bras. Isn’t that literally inviting someone to eat you up.'
'...a biodegradable plastic bag that acts as a single-use toilet for urban slums in the developing world.
Once used, the bag can be knotted and buried, and a layer of urea crystals breaks down the waste into fertiliser, killing off disease-producing pathogens found in faeces.'
And yet, 'who am' when speaking in first person would be grammatically correct, wouldn't it?
I, who am also interested about its modern usage, was unable to find anything that would shed light upon the matter. Perhaps when people contracted it, it became who'm, which sounded too similar to whom and was confusing. But that hardly seems an excuse to defy the rules of grammar.
Interestingly, in French, 'She helps me' translates to 'Elle m'aide'. I thought this had something to do with the etymology of this word, but it doesn't seem so... And yet, the co-incidence seems a bit too uncanny.
I think we should still be able to edit comments, at least for 24 hours after posting them. It would be ideal if you could somehow prevent 'editing' comments by deleting everything, but the edit button was definately useful.

Is there anything we can do about disappearing lists? In my Wordie/ Wordnik life, I have had about 5 lists vanish on me two of which were in the past couple of days. It happens when a) I try to alphabetise the list (though sometimes it works) or b) when I add a word.
It is unbelievably frustrating because those words can't be retrieved and I would really appreciate anything that could fix the problem.
Don't you guys feel bad about doing this? Have you no conscience at all? I mean, we can be sued for all this and that's our professional career down the drain (if you haven't clogged that already)!
Michelangelo was painting the roof of the Sistine Chapel. However, he was being rather cheap and thinning his paints to save money. Suddenly, a big storm came and somehow rain got inside the Chapel and washed the ceiling and the walls of the paint, leaving them sparkling clean. A lightning bolt shot out of the clouds and knocked Michaelangelo off his ladder to the floor. He looked up and saw God... God said, "Repaint, repaint, and thin no more."
You may have heard it before, or maybe not...but I think it's hilarious.
I understand vegemite-virgins. Vegemite is, after all, somewhat exotic and is an acquired taste. But pavlova-virgins are simply deprived. I'm pretty sure it's universal stuff.
I got the sarcasm, but you probably didn't get mine. Have you heard of the Sarc Mark?
Ok...but it's a bit strange being the first to comment on your own profile, and give a link to an external website. You probably haven't realised that Wordnik is being taken advantage of by spammers but if your intentions are actually sincere, then welcome to Wordnik.
Actually, though spam is most commonly understood as unwanted or junk email, it can actually be used in reference to websites (which I'm sure you know very well)!
Whenever I try to make a link to another page using html, it always somehow links back to the page I'm on, and consequentially, when I click the link, the page re-loads. Is this a bug? or am I doing something wrong (though I'm pretty sure I'm not)?

I find this quote very amusing:
'Monseigneur was about to take his chocolate... Yes. It took four men, all four a-blaze with gorgeous decoration, and the Chief of them unable to exist with fewer than two gold watches in his pocket, emulative of the noble and chaste fashion set by Monseigneur, to conduct the happy chocolate to Monseigneur's lips. One lacquey carried the chocolate-pot into the sacred presence; a second, milled and frothed the chocolate with the little instrument he bore for that function; a third, presented the favoured napkin; a fourth (he of the two gold watches), poured the chololate out. It was impossible for Monseigneur to dispense with one of these attendants on the chocolate and hold his high place under the admiring Heavens. Deep would have been the blot upon his escutcheon if his cholocate had been ignobly waited on by only three men; he must have died of two.'

Hunger was pushed out of the tall houses, in the wretched clothing that hung upon poles and lines; Hunger was patched into them with straw and rag and wood and paper; Hunger was repeated in every fragment of the small modicum of firewood that the man sawed off; Hunger stared down from the smokeless chimneys, and started up from the filthy street that had no offal, among its refuse, of anything to eat. Hunger was the inscription on the baker's shelves, written in every small loaf of his scanty stock of bad bread; at the sausage-shop, in every dead-dog preparation that was offered for sale. Hunger rattled its dry bones among the roasting chestnuts in the turned cylinder; Hunger was shred into atomies in every fathing porringer of husky chips of potatio, fried with some reluctant drops of oil.

The true spirit of delight, the exaltation, the sense of being more than Man, which is the touchstone of the highest excellence, is to be found in mathematics as surely as poetry."

I should hope they are documented, even if they're just telephone numbers and orders. Interestingly, we have transcribed many Ancient Egyptian shopping lists that were originally written on papyrus, though they have been of little use to any historian. However, I imagine that the people of Evinston would be very interested in the history of their city and I have always found that the most seemingly trivial of writings are the ones that tell you the most about the people. Especially when you can actually see the handwriting.

Does da have a separate meaning? Or does it just add to solo?
The first definition (according to the American Heritage Dictionary) is 'without companions; lone'. You could be in a room chock full of people and not have a single companion.
And even if you did, but had no connection with them you are still in a sense, alone and may very well be lonely.

He was the very model of a Modern Surgeon General.
He doesn't get an army or a navy or an arsenal
There's no one who salutes him or who even keeps his coffee warm
He spends his day at work, attaching ribbons to his uniform.

PossibleUnderscore commented on the word funeral clown
'The funeral clown was paid to dress up as the dead person, wear a mask of his face, and dance about acting like him. The Romans believed that this would placate the spirits of the dead and bring joy to the living. As the funeral processed, the funeral clown would run alongside the corpse with other clowns making jokes and mimicking the dead. Some clowns were very highly regarded and even got to mock the emperor at his funeral. They were well paid and an oddly happy diversion from the clowns regular job as the head of a mime troupe.'
Phew! What a job!

Haha. Actually, this list has been on hold for a while because I wasn't (and still aren't) sure which poisons to include and which ones to leave out. I mean, if I were to add every poison in the world, you might as well go read the official lists and then I'd have to find where to draw the line between poisonous and non-poisonous, considering water and sugar are also poisons just to name a few. It all depends on the amount ingested.
I suppose you could consider these 'my favourites' but at some stage, I'll probably get around to refining the list and making it more specific

A warning against thinning paints:
Michelangelo was painting the roof of the Sistine Chapel. However, he was being rather cheap and thinning his paints to save money. Suddenly, a big storm came and somehow rain got inside the Chapel and washed the ceiling and the walls of the paint, leaving them sparkling clean. A lightning bolt shot out of the clouds and knocked Michaelangelo off his ladder to the floor. He looked up and saw God... God said, "Repaint, repaint, and thin no more."

Ok...but it's a bit strange being the first to comment on your own profile, and give a link to an external website. You probably haven't realised that Wordnik is being taken advantage of by spammers but if your intentions are actually sincere, then welcome to Wordnik.

Actually, though spam is most commonly understood as unwanted or junk email, it can actually be used in reference to websites (which I'm sure you know very well)!

Ah, bilby! But that is not so. I call to your attention, namely novels and musicians.

I would really love to hear the justification for these criticisms, though they are probably not attainable.
Haha! Morris Dancers indeed! (By-the-way, the link is showing up on the Zeitgeist page, but not here.)

PossibleUnderscore commented on the user feedback
Whenever I try to make a link to another page using html, it always somehow links back to the page I'm on, and consequentially, when I click the link, the page re-loads. Is this a bug? or am I doing something wrong (though I'm pretty sure I'm not)?
