One English Word/Phrase a Day Keeps Perpetuity Away!

S M I T E

I think that most us know that Zeus whips out his motherfucking thunder strikes and smites heathens all day long, but only today did I come to realize how versatile the word smite really is.

So you got two past forms (most words have only one): Smote and smitten.

I wanna focus on smitten because that's how I've been feeling for the last couple of months. Smote isn't in use anymore, don't worry :)

''ScribScribScrib's smitten soul had only eyes for her...''

So basically, to smite someone means to LITERALLY fucking smack him across his face BUT when you're smitten by someone, it feels as if that persons existence FIGURATIVELY hit you so hard, you can barely fucking breathe, in a romantic sense.

When presented as a noun, it's just a shitty mix between two colors, brown and red.

But here's where it gets interesting, if you maroon someone, you fucking leave him stranded in a place from which he can't escape and without any human or other resources to help himself out. You're leaving him to die, basically. Think of Jack Sparow in that movie, Pirates of the Caribbean, not sure what the full title is.

You can also use maroon whenever you wanna express feeling caged, isolated or left out by someone.

''My evil mother marooned me into my room so that I could study, while all the other kids played with their Neopets.''

This word slides off your tongue as if it were smeared with honey and butter. It really keeps your paragraph cohesive no matter what context you put it in, this becomes accentuated when you consider the alternatives, such as 'defendable' or 'justifable' - I mean yeah, they are cool, but you gotta twist your fucking muscles to pronounce them, tenable just feels natural by itself, right?

Tenable basically means ability to persist within a certain criterion.

Not only is it highly 'fungible' but as per definition, it is one of those staple words that you can just stick to whatever cause you're trying to defend/diminish.

You think it's tenable to walk around naked in my garden? I'll see you in hell, fucker! *loud gunshot, muffled noises of yet another carcass hitting the sturdy ground*

What's the first thing you think about when you hear don? Don motherfucking Corleone with his sleek hair, dour expression and a suit to kill for!

So what does our Don do when he wakes up? He dons his clothes and goes out to be an awesome motherfucker.

A don is nothing without his 'work' attire, so to don means to put on clothes!

Easy pickings!

Do you hate yourself?
Do you have zero self-respect?
Do you find yourself winning girl Friday of the year, decade by decade?
Do you work in the same field, in the same place, in the same cubicle, on the same schedule, day in and day out?

Congratulations, you're a professional gofer! a.k.a someone who serves as nothing but an errand person to serve those above him in the hierarchical ladder. But hey, not all is lost, maybe one day you'll move up the echelons ;) ;) ;) keep dreaming.

Don't forget my doughnuts, gofer.

Nah, it hasn't got anything to do with limping or being limp, quite on the contrary if you present something as limpid, you describe it as clear, understandable, simple, transparent, just smooth in its way of presentation.

Wew, what a definition- gives us a lot of leeway, doesn't it? That's why I'm featuring it, am in love with words you can use with poetic license :)

The limpid waters revealed a sour expression on her face, a mirage I've been seeing for most of our marriage.

Not quite extreme like death, which is essentially taking something or someone completely away from our mortal realm but close to it.

Dearth is like the little brother of death, gotta have an heavy r (lol there's a naughty and a nice meaning to this ;)) to stand out, basically meaning not having something of something.

Real life example of this, let's say you lack food or whatever, you're gonna be like

''Times of dearth hit the villages of Dear Sirs, with food supplies being at an all time low.''

or you can use it metaphorically, as in, shit is scarce and needs some boosting

''The widespread dearth of talent on YouTube marks the slow demise of yet another steamroller in the creative industries.''

Ire is fire without f, right? And what is fire like? Angry, intense, all-consuming!

So, when you evoke ire in someone, you make him feel intense and all-consuming anger.

Pretty easy, right?

If you like something, you wanna lick it, right? I wanna lick ice-cream and my wife's private parts, get what I mean? But when you wanna use the word like without the word lick in it, you use liken.

Liken is a strong synonym of compare and basically means to point out differences between something or someone.

So why not just use compare, why the long liken?

Melody of your sentence would be one answer.

Let's take a look at @contentcreators sentence ''However, after reading Basstrackerboats final commentary in the thread about the homeless guy, where he likens the mods to Judge Judy, I am starting to understand the need to be so strict.''

We can see that while putting compare in there isn't wrong- It simply kills the mood of what is to follow.

Liken gives it that extra notch, that one ounce of slickness, making the entire paragraph easier to read and follow.

I like the idea of my sentences being melodic, does that mean I have to lick them? How do you lick an idea? I think I may have discovered a flaw in your logic :)

I'm just imagining two tribes fighting against dominance and territory, that's how you get diatribe, right?

Diatribe is basically a fierce speech against an individual or institution that is filled not with arguments but emotional outbursts aimed at DESTROYING and HARMING the opposition.

Think of Alex Jones, he's done more diatribes than I can count!

Dogs. We don't deserve them. They are so loyal, tenacious, persistent, unyielding, purposeful, cute...

When you tell someone that their dogged ways paved their road to success, you're telling them that their persistence, stubbornness and determination brought them the fame they got now.

I mean just imagine your dog when he THINKS a bone is buried somewhere, he goes fucking insane! You may pull your doggo, but his dogged attitude doesn't let you pull the strings, if ya know what I mean :P

One of the cutest words I know, and you know what makes something cute? By being very small in stature, imagine Tinker Bell in Peter Pan!

It can also signify small, trivial and petty things, something which shouldn't concern us that much.

Really give your sentence tempo, watch this.

''These lilliputian rascals move on to become fearsome predators once they mature into adulthood.''

Let's you easily play with your readers emotions (from cute to scary).

One of my favorite words, along with frenzy. I just imagine myself standing in front of a huge crowd, rousing them into doing my bidding. God, that would be such an awesome feeling.

To rouse someone means to either wake him up or inspire/excite him to do/about something. A word very similar to rouse would be arouse- and we all know what the means.

ScribScribScrib's battle cry roused the hearths of many warriors, preparing them for the ensuing life-or-death battle.

yo, what a cool phrase, not sure where I've heard it from, but it's so fucking cool that I just gotta share it, right?

So, you got these fucking humans right (a lot of the human population, so probably you too my man) that don't realize that in the grand scheme of things, nothing they've fucking done here on earth fucking matters and that we aren't what one might call a 'modern and progressive society'. Nah, we're just a bunch of shitstains that, you know, got a chance to experience a small fraction of the collective human experience here on this tiny rock and pretty much all the great works and achievements of our lifetime are pretty pale in comparison to our history.

What I'm getting to here: We face the same issues people faced thousands of years ago, yet now we have fucking message boards instead of caves and that makes us 'better' and 'progressive'

So to end my rant, calling someone's interpretation whiggish, you're telling him to cut down the self-centeredness and realize that hey, we're not that awesome, after all, that shit be circling round and round, same ol'- same ol', we're all repeating our own mistakes and it just keeps on happening and happening...

So to finally get to the definition, a whig historian or a whiggish view of things represents someone that believes that everything that transpired in the past is just humans continually ascending , inevitably leading TO THIS MOMENT in the present, where we are at our highest peak of liberty and progressiveness.

Basically, someone that believes that as times moves on, humans just grow and grow and become better and better and since we're now in the present a.k.a the closest to the future we'll ever be, we're the fucking best.

Gotta make the peons truly believe in their whiggish view of their own work, otherwise, what motivation would thy have left to slave for us?!

Holy shit, this got out of hand, lol.

Gonna keep it short and concise with this one.

The article needs some brevity before we can publish it, nobody wants to read a freaking novel for crying out loud!

You wanna earn 2000$ a month with IG and OGads on the first day? You wanna hit it big in IM without hard work? You want guaranteed success in anything you do in life???!!!

You my friend are living a pipe dream, won't ever happen, it will but remain a nice thought.

You'll probably laugh at your pipe dreams when you mature a bit.

Watched a Family Guy clip on youtube, in that one episode where they won the lottery. So Peter is talking with his personal waiter in a fancy resauraunt and mentions something in the vein of 'your gratuity shall be paid in full, myahhaa' and I was like, gratuity, holy shit, I've never even called tips like that!

Who's a snobby, rich asshole? ME!!!!

This word is used a lot at restaurants here in the US, where most menus at sit down establishments mention something along the lines of "18% gratuity added to tables of five or more" or something like that. Basically a CYA clause to ensure that wait staff are paid more than $5 on a $150 bill.

I know, I know, tipping culture is stupid.
