[b]Hi Guys!
Good Afternoon!

A special gooood afternoon to lovers of the English Language.
Especially those who have a thing for the big uncommon words.

I understand that sometimes, it can be downright irritating to see a connoisseur of "big big grammars" in a sentence that could have as well been communicated in simple English words, but then again, hey, some of us can't help but get enthralled by those who have a way of mixing the simple and complicated and still get their message across.

So here's what it's gon be like...

1. You're strolling through the streets of Nairaland.

2. You find a person or convo whose use of certain words pique your interest.

3. All you need to do is click on the quote link, then copy the post of the individual.

4. Head to this thread, click on the reply link, paste the quoted post, and then embolden and/or highlight in any colour of your choice, the words that are of interest to you.

5. It is assumed that before carrying out the steps above, you have searched out the meanings for the word(s).

6. Now without copying and pasting what your dictionary or Google told you, try explain those words under the post you quoted.

Please see example(s) after cut...[/b]

You're not alone. Never knew the meaning of that word hitherto her using it. I simply checked it on my Dictionary app, and added it to my list of new words.

Caseless:
it is official, those hackers finally succeeded. I won't forgive those wealed internet infestation for the infeudation .


Miz, I did show my pic on that thread yestetday.

"wealed" here means "wounded" or sore with injury, and...

"Infeudation" in this context would mean putting me in possession of your pictures, right?

"Infestation" Means someone or something that has been overrun or taken over by pests or parasites.

MizMyColi:


Dude, I actually meant for this to be organic, such that we are learning from each other's grammar pool.

I don't think Ishilove or I have used these words recently or ever, you get?

piicity:
I know i know,someone used it and i want to know the meaning

I'm sorry dear, please blame it on my hyper activity
It behoves on the poster you quoted to come and do the needed.

TheSonOfMark:

That's KingLekan's signature (?) text pigment. Why that colour? The conspiracy theorist in me is having to plow through an avalanché of possible scenarios.
Mizmycoli, more than a coincidence?

Ishilove:

Google is your friend

MizMyColi:



It has to do with that moment when you're not actively looking for something you've actively searched for in the past and then happen to stumble upon it.

MizMyColi:
@piicity, don't cheat please www.nairaland.com/myselfmethyl does not exist.
Besides the words you are asking for their meanings are mainly drugs or chemistry related

Ishilove:

Never used it.

LOL. Valid excuse. Who doesn't love purple?

Literally, "pachydermous" means "thick-skinned".

It could also mean "tough hide" or "impervous".

I tend to use the expression "mentally pachydermous" figuratively which means "strong/tough psyche" or "being able to withstand psychological torture/stress or not affected by it".

Example: How time flies... The once timid Mizmycoli is now seemingly (mentally) pachydermous to insults.
