"I'll Tell Your Fortune but the Words Don't Rhyme..."

Latin is a really, really, really stupid language. Why am I taking it?

...because it has words like sandapila*, that's why. But it's still a stupid language.

*"cheap coffin"

That is a great word. It makes me want to find other pretty-sounding words that mean really weird things and then turn them all into character names.

There are tonnes of them in Latin, and I do it all the time. XD

[bewareofitalics]

I think this calls for examples. :D

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

XD Just a sec. The only one I know off the top of my head is Lolligo.

Satelles (bodyguard)
Machinari (crane operator)
Erici (hedgehog/beam with iron spikes)
Gypsum (plaster of Paris)
Laena (lined coat)
Merenda (lunch/snack)
Paetulus (slightly squint-eyed)
Phalerica (fiery missle)
Repotia (a second round of drinks)
Sinape (white mustard)

&c.

Eeee. Very cool! I always thought that the Hebrew words Glida (ice cream) and Oogah (cake) would make good names, too... *g*

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Glida is v. pretty! Oogah would make a good pet name, though.

[bewareofitalics]

Oo, oo, and if you had, say, a whole litter of kittens, you could call them Oogiyot! Which means "cookies," but I think it's really just the plural of "Oogah."

...on second thought, kitten cookies would be kinda icky.

>:D >:D >:D KITTEN COOOOOOOKIES.

[bewareofitalics]

They'd leave fur in your teeth!

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I'd use their bones to pick it out?

...ick.

[bewareofitalics]

...

...well, I suppose it would be worth it if by eating them you absorbed their powers of seeing in the dark and cuteness...

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

...True! :D :D

[bewareofitalics]

...and then nothing could stand in our way! :D

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

BWAHAHA. Ha.

[bewareofitalics]

You have learned well the ways of the Deceptively Cute. :D

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

It's all thanks to you, master.

[bewareofitalics]
