AaronOfMpls Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 shibboleth - a word or custom that can be used to tell whether or not someone is part of a particular in-group. (Comes from in story in the Old Testament, where the ancient Hebrews used the word shibboleth to identify members of an enemy people, who couldn't pronounce it properly.) A fair number of your words seem like they'd be decent shibboleths, Tidus and Aurelius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurielius Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I prefer to think that I'm a member of an exclusive Sodality- a fellowship of comrades..but the critique is valid none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidus44 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Spent the afternoon chasing down music from a Brazilian musician. He noted some birds sitting on 5 wires outside his window and saw them as musical notes. He copied down their positions and observed them over some days and kept making note of their places on the wires. He then played the music and was amazed at the tune. The song is Birds on a Wire and it is actually an extremely nice piece of music, very mellow and relaxing. I like that it was rather an eclectic manner of writing music.

Tidus44 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 infrendiate - to gnash one's teeth in anger. I did all the Daedric Quests in Skyrim in the way they have to be done in order to obtain the artifact (even though I really dislike the way a number of them must be done to get the artifact) to receive the Oblivion Walker achievement. Did Steam award the achievement? Nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I don’t get my approbation (official approval or praise) by having the achievement awarded by Steam, how am I supposed to feel good about myself? I need the achievement to go into my trophy case with the 11th place finish ribbons and “participant” trophies I've won. Reading that over and realizing that there are likely such things as 11th place ribbons and participant trophies just depressed the heck out of me.

I realize that without that prized Steam achievement you will feel that their is a Lacuna -(something missing) in your trophy case. :sad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
