Lovely Words

Now I have been a member of chess.com for a long while and I still have not written a blog. I feel it is my duty to add something to this wonderful website however pointless it may be, so here goes.

I am the sort of person who often takes a fancy to a word, so at the start of the academic year I started a list of these words in a notebook. I whip it out if somebody says an exceptional word and I add it.

You would be supprised how many people have favourite words of their own.

Anywho, lets me construct a list for you:

  • Frustrum
  • Asymptote
  • Ambulance
  • Ambiance
  • Bromide
  • Schism
  • Pudding
  • Abysmal
  • Bafflingly
  • Yerp
  • Paradox
  • Parallax
  • Parrallel
  • Smoggy
  • Kerfuffle
  • Googleplexian
  • Pernickety
  • Quantised
  • Disproportionation
  • Nomenclature
  • Bliss
  • Neophyte

 My list of "horrid words" is far shorter. Only four words long at the moment.

  • Nicely
  • Orang-utan
  • Belly
  • Gas

 Please bear in mind that I (dis)like the sounds of these words. There presence on the list has little to do with their definitions; however I'm sure the meanings probably swayed me. For instance I do hate monkeys and apes, and I like maths.

    Correct Shruikon, Noob is not Newbie.

    Use dictionary.com. It is not on there.

     

    Look, you are wrong this time. Noob does not mean newbie. End of story.

    Now if google used dictionary definations how can it possibly not be in the dictionary.

    "Your case is wrong. 'Nuff said." Oh yes, that is a brilliant arguement which has totally convinced me.

    Shruikon

    Your case is wrong. 'Nuff said.

    Even Wikipedia has the right definition.

    You can not use a dictionary definition (which is what Google did) to state the meaning of the word since it isn't in the dictionary.

    You are not happy with that evidence in my case for some reason? Surely the fact that you play lots of video games is an ad hoc fallacy in terms of knowing the true meaning of the word.

    Many words have confused meanings, just because a word is believed to mean something by the masses it does not necassarily make it true. Want examples?

    Furthermore, I would believe that the online dictionaries that supply google with the definitions would be, for the most part, accurate. There is more than one definition on there that supports my case.

    You're trying to use a google definition to prove me, a person who loves playing video games, the place where the term originated, wrong?

     

    Oh Alaric, stop being such a noob. (xD)

    And Ploo doesn't matter.

    Correct Shruikon, Alaric is mistaken. Noob is not short for Newbie.
  • 5 years ago

    Shruikon

    Agreed again with Cloudjubei xD

     

    Noob isn't short for newbie. Alaric doesn't know his stuff xD

    Alaric, noob isn't short for newbie, newb is :P Noob = Alaric, but Noob =/= Neophyte

    ^^ 


  • 5 years ago

    Lord-Svenstikov

    Noob is short for newbie.

    Newbie = beginner

    Beginner = Neophyte

    :. Noob = Neophyte

    So, does anyone think that "Ploo"  is similar to Multiplex Ligation-dependant Probe Amplification? How about Noble Dutch Familes or South African Musicians?

    LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went to Wikipedia and looked up "Ploo". It had no matches, but suggested the following things to me as 100.0% like Ploo.

    National Assembly of the Bavitan Republic

    Sea Wing disaster

    Multiplex Ligation-dependant Probe Amplification

    List of South African musicians

    Plew, Missouri

    List of Noble Dutch Families

    So there you go, Lord. There is the scoop on Ploo.

    I am sorry, but I really don't know the defenition of Ploo, and I feel that I need to know it too! I need to know it so much, that I am off to Wikipedia.

    :( I am nowhere near being a Neophyte Adam. :P

    Ok, now I am intrigued chesslover. This Ploo sounds amazing, I have a feeling that I need to know the definition of Ploo. I don't like secrets being held from me, how would you like it if I did a simular thing to you? For instance: I am holding an object right now, but I'm not going to tell you what it is!
