The day you left Atlanta for the sky, to meet me, the "word of the day" was Nephelococcygia, which was too perfect not to report to the public.
** Nephelococcygia (Noun) Pronunciation: [ne-f�-l�-k�-'si-jee-y� ] Definition 1: (Literally, "Cloudcuckoosville") Interpreting the shapes of clouds. Definition 2: La-la land, a dream land cut off from reality. Usage 2: Nephelococcygia was dreamed up by Aristophanes for his comedy, "The Birds" (414 BC). In this play, two characters turn into birds and immediately begin planning a city (never realized), which they decide to call "Nephelococcygia." Capitalize the word if it refers to the imaginary city. The adjective would be "nephelococcygic," as in "Bertie is suffering nephelococcygic delusions." Suggested usage: Here is Geoffrey Smith's test of Nephelococcygia. You are living in Nephelococcygia if you think: (a) "we're here to help you," (b) "the new form will make it much easier for you," (c) "this will only take a minute," or (d) "I have a strategic plan. I know what I'm doing." However, most of those using the word associate it with defining images in cloud banks: "The kids are in the backyard indulging in a bit of nephelococcygia; Forrest is doing essentially the same thing on the living room couch." _______________________________________________ Five7Five mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/five7five
