Erin's Weird and Wonderful Word of the Day:
ultra-crepidarian
an adjective related to the (widespread) practice of giving opinions on topics beyond one's knowledge. The word comes from Latin words meaning 'beyond the sole' (of the shoe), an allusion to the story of Apelles and the cobbler, Apelles being the favorite painter of Alexander the Great. His shoemaker told him of a mistake Apelles had made in depicting a shoe, and Apelles corrected it. The shoemaker then presumed to criticize the painting of the leg as well, and Apelles said: "Don't criticize above the sole!"
Erin's Weird and Wonderful Word of the Day:
therianthropy [thayr-ee-an-throh-pee]
a feeling of psychological or spiritual identification with a particular animal. People who feel this way call themselves therianthropes or therians, and may consider themselves to have animal or part-animal souls. The species of animal with which a particular therian identifies is sometimes referred to as their theriotype. From Greek words meaning ‘wild animal’ and ‘man.’
RookRAK, are you a therianthrope, with a polar bear being your theriotype?
Originally posted by NordlysYes, I think that is partly true of me. I do see some bear-like qualities in myself. Perhaps though I am a part-time therianthrope.

Originally posted by reader1107Exactly. See how much more fun it's been since I didn't just walk over and knock on the door to introduce myself. I've turned it into months of adventure.
Yes, that's amazing! An undead woman. Maybe she's hiding. Or a spy. All the other options are still open! So she exists but mystery still surrounds her...
