6. Phrontistery A thinking-place; a place for study. I simply had to include 'phrontistery' on this list. A peculiar (and under-used) term, I hope to reclaim it for thinking people everywhere. No other term is synonymous, and its intellectual if pompous sound merely adds to its charm. It was first used by Aristophanes to apply to the school of Socrates, and was somewhat mocking in tone.
8. Boondoggle This is such a great word because it means doing nothing, or at least being seen to be busy and I just know so many people who are real experts in this. 9. Zenzizenzizenzic “The eighth power of a number.”, but for me this is something that one would use when describing something massive, multiplied over and over again. 10. Cunning Linguist A twist of the tongue, a use of the mouth, the giving of pleasure, being clever and creative, playing with words, this has just so many meanings, which is why I love it just so much. |
