Word of the day...

[JWBear]

I learned a new word today! "Gadarene"

[Morrigoon]

You gonna share with the class or do we have to resort to dictionary.com?

[Kevy Baby]

[adolescent mode] The word of the day is "legs" - help spread the word [/adolescent mode]

[Mousey Girl]

Legs? I was expecting you to say boobs.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Spreading "boobs" isn't as acquiescently funny as spreading "legs".

[JWBear]

This thread became about boobs in four posts. Is that a new record for LoT?

Gada·rene (gad′ə rēn′)

adjective
moving rapidly and without control; headlong

Etymology: after the Gadarene swine (Luke 8:26-39) that ran into the sea after demons possessed them

[flippyshark]

Maybe my favorite word -

Callipygian: Having a shapely buttocks, as in "I wish I was a more callipygian dude."

I used to feel sorry for those poor Gadarene pigs, who never asked to have Jesus send demons into them and make them run into the sea.

adjective

Etymology: after the Gadarene swine (Luke 8:26-39) that ran into the sea after demons possessed themIt's weird because Dictionary.com (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/gadarene?qsrc=2446) doesn't have a definition, they only give this:

Gad·a·ra (gād'ər-ə)
An ancient city of Palestine southeast of the Sea of Galilee. It was one of the Greek cities of the Decapolis.

Gad'a·rene' (gād'ə-rēn', gād'ə-rēn') adj. & n.
