Mr. Mxy's Word Corner

[Fraggle]

Well, I was supposed to be painting my bathroom yesterday, but the forums were just there, and I kept procrastinating...

...Won the draw-a-phrase game though



so I guess, I'd better get on with the painting I should have done yesterday!

Hello, people. Lº§tMyMiNĞ here.

Well, I'd just like to say that even though it's been fun racing with you all on BFM, I hate to say that I've been procrastinating from learning XSI Mod Tool, something I'd like to use to start making models for Source on ModDB, my favorite mod site.

Just throwin' in my two cents.

If i keep procrastinating on these history assignments, i will soon be unwilling to do any sort of work for the class out of fear that the homework i procrastinated on will keep me up until i have to get up to go to school again.

My "main" computer - the one with that list on it - has been awaiting a replacement motherboard (from Singapore.)  Sorry!

[BFM_SüprM@ñ]

So... What's the shipping like on that? >.>

Got it in-hand now, and working on things.  Should be up by the weekend. (It's not the EXACT same mobo....  )

In Mxy's absence, I'll post the new word.

The bird is the word!

Just kidding.

Bump.

[MrMxyzptlk]

Well, I for one find it hilariously ironic that you all had to wait so long, while I was not procrastinating to bring you this next, new Word Corner word!:


su·per·cil·i·ous [ soo-per-sil-ee-uhs ]



–adjective
haughtily disdainful or contemptuous, as a person or a facial expression.


1520–30;  < Latin superciliōsus. See supercilium, -ous

To those of you who thought I was procrastinating: I give you a long, supercilious, look!

 

 

[BFM_Kiwi]

I associate supercilious with being arrogant or having a feeling of superiority.   Patronizing or condescending.  I guess that's the "haughtily" part of your definition.  Great word.  One of those you can use on someone and they have to go look it up, and get a nasty surprise.  Hey Enoch, stop being so supercilious!
What's that kiwi?  Look it up Enoch!  I don't have a dictionary at the bakery kiwi.  Look it up when you get home then. I will!

LOl i had this word for one of my vocab lists in English for the book "the great gatsby" and i love that word


The supercilious bachelor scoffed when he realized his best friend did not own a private jet.

p.s. not exactly sure if this is in the correct form but i just got uo after 4 hours of sleep so correct me if I'm wrong

[BFM_SüprM@ñ]

I give you a supercilious glare back Mxy! Pushing your computer beyond it's capabilities. You knew it couldn't take it, you were too hard on it!

[MrMxyzptlk]

Hey!  I'm back!

Did you all suffer from Chronosynclastic Infundibulum* while I was away?


a·mel·io·rate [ uh-meel-yuh-reyt, uh-mee-lee-uh- ]



verb (used with object), verb (used without object), -rat·ed, -rat·ing.
to make or become better, more bearable, or more satisfactory; improve; meliorate.


Origin: 1760–70; a-⁵  + meliorate

I've made this word post more ameliorable by keeping it short and sweet....

* See paragraphs #2 & 3....

[Lº§tMyMiNĞ]

Meh, I will say this: I felt some of my previous warthog skins weren't exactly all that good, so I went back and ameliorated them. I must say, that's amongst one of the best things I've ever done.



That's 'nuff said!

Over the past month I've spent a majority of my time at work, but the past couple of days has done wonders to ameliorate my relationships with my family members.
