That's right, WotW is back, and better than ever. Today I've got a brand new episode for you, featuringthe letters j, k, l and m. As I mentioned in a previous blog, I am working on a blog header/sig for WotW, but sadly, it will not be in use until next week.
Words of the Week:
juggins- a simpleton; naive person; fool.
kakistocracy- government by the worst or least qualified citizens
lethologica- the inability to remember the right word for something. Also a psychological disorder that inhibits an individual's ability to articulate thoughts by temporarily forgetting words in conversation.
meretricious- 1. Attracting attention in a vulgar manner; plausible but false or insincere
2. Of or relating to prostitutes or prostitution
Quotes of the Week:
"No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country." -General George Patton
"The man who can smile when things go wrong has thought of someone else he can blame it on." -Robert Bloch
Man of the Week: E. Gary Gygax- As I'm sure most of you know, on March 4th this year, one of gamings greatest influences died. As creator of Dungeons and Dragons, Gary Gygax contributed more to tabletop gaming, and RPG gaming in general, than most other people in the history of the industry. So this is my tribute to him, one of the most brilliant people gaming has ever seen.
Okay, that's it for this week, halfway through the alphabet now, and still going strong (sort of). Thanks for reading if you got this far, and remember, any suggestions and contributions are welcome. [Current scores for language guessing: Mii_Wii_and_RPG- 1, OrkHammer007- 1.]
