WARNING

The last time I played monopoly around my mates house

it ended in tears and my mate ended up sleeping on his couch that night, lol

play it at your own peril!

 

Are you serious! I love that game, we once played a marathon game for like 8 hours. I can't remember who won but I couldn't look at the board for at least 2 months.

tchotchke- that can't be english?!?

[General Septem]

Actually the Russian word "tsatska" and the Polish word "czaczka" are basically the same word, although pronounced differently (corrected). Both are Slavic languages so there are some shared words.

am·ne·sia, n.-Partial or total loss of memory, usually resulting from shock, psychological disturbance, brain injury, or illness.

amnesia can also be cause by 10hrs+ of gaming,

eg;"what dear you said to hangout the washing, dont remember that!" lol

My mom told me to go to bed, I forgot because I swear I have amnesia.

Not a word i've hear very often, I'd say its like pigeon holing (sounds painful,poor pigeon,lol), labeling, stereotyping and categorizations, which are all to common in this media driven world we live in, also reminds me of stratocumulus and cirrostratus (Damn,that geography Exam) see momma you bring out the teacher in all of us!

I try, I try . I really was interested in the word history because the professor that I TA for was telling me that it orginated out the of the term "strategy." And it does but that just drove my curiosity and plus I needed the word of the day, so there you go.
