Myrrh. I used to hear it as a kid in church. Haven't heard it in decades by now.

Affordable housing

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So "affordablehousing" then? 😂

Looks German

[–] Super_Stone@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We actually have a word for that: unauffindbar

[–] kenbw2@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Doesn't that mean unfindable?

[–] Konlanx@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You are right. It's a joke because there is absolutely no affordable housing to be found in Germany.

Matt Parker or Steve Mould?

Vituperative. It's such a good word too.

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago

Oh, that's good. A new one for me!

From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:

  vituperative
      adj 1: marked by harshly abusive criticism; "his scathing
             remarks about silly lady novelists"; "her vituperative
             railing" [syn: {scathing}, {vituperative}]

Defenestrate. What a word!

[–] ErwinLottemann@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Wait, what? There were a lot of defenestrations recently, you haven't heard?
