I don't think I shall bother to remember this WotD. It's much too similar to a word that has a totally different meaning, but that I hold very dear.Algot Runeman wrote:cervine

An e-book, a pure abstraction that would make you hikikomori ? Or a real, physical, paper, book that weighs in your hand and withAlgot Runeman wrote:(...)
Does keeping up with those I've never met except through the Internet mean I suffer from hikikomori?
Of course, I make those contacts while indoors at home.
On the other hand, I'm not an adolescent, though I am male.
Bah. All this introspection is too tiring. I'll just stop and read a book now.

Shoudn't this undeniably lovely and graceful saleswoman be in school instead of working in an Asian food shop helping lecherous old geezers?

One day in an Asian food shop, I asked the lovely Japanese girl to help me find all the purchases I needed. Well, yes, I always tend to monopolize pretty saleswomen for as long as possible.![]()
But when I asked for a packet of ikomori, I had a sudden attack of hiccups at the worst possible moment. I asked, "Do you have hikikomori?".
She barely managed to hide her giggle and smile behind graceful fingers. To this day I don't know whether she laughed because of my hiccups or my ikomori.

I wanted an image of an adult Asian girl biting her knuckles to emphasise the "suppressing laughter". But the little girl with this particular gesture was the only one I found in Google Images.voralfred wrote:Shoudn't this undeniably lovely and graceful saleswoman be in school instead of working in an Asian food shop helping lecherous old geezers?

BTW : what is ikomori supposed to be? I thought maybe you hiccuped twice, but I could not find a sushi ingredient called omori either.

Do you intend to suggest, sir, that your three course dinner would consist of three servings of soup? Perhaps you needed to squint at the menu excessively and thought you'd ordered a standard sequence of courses; a soup, an entré and a dessert?E.P.S. wrote: addiction, to a generous louche of Potage Saint Germain, Tomato Soup with Meatballs and Soupe à l'Oignon Gratinée.

I've always had trouble keeping edifications, edifices and edibles apart.Algot Runeman wrote:edification
It's a good thing you thought of this mnemonic.E Pericoloso Sporgersi wrote:(..)
I've always had trouble keeping edifications, edifices and edibles apart.
So I thought of a mnemonic to make it easier to remember:
The McDonald's is an edifice where edification of their edibles is shown in the menu.
Oh yes. I envy this young man. An only and single male, his edification is boosted by the edible girls in the venerable Bath edifice. (Click on the image).voralfred wrote:... I still suppose you'd rather eat the edificated people (the students), preferably if they are pretty young girls...
Michael Kenny is the only male in a class of 48 women studying at the world famous Norland College.
