Gus' word of the day!

Unread postby Justice Augustus » Tue Aug 08, 2006 12:06 am

Studying Demosthene's speech On the Crown, and he kept using a word I did not know. Looking it up I found the definition to be AWESOME

Pettifogging

adjective : quibbling over insignificant details

Pettifogger

1. A petty, quibbling, unscrupulous lawyer.
2. One who quibbles over trivia.

Now go out and use it! <p>

"Moreover, when on the following night, much to his dismay, [Caesar] had a dream of raping his own mother, the soothsayers greatly encouraged him by their interpretations of it: namely, that he was destined to conquer the earth" - Suetonius, The Twelve Caesars - Julius Caesar, chapter 7</p>

I knew this word from my time on a MUD, that actually let you level up from debating with folks in addition to fighting them. :{ <p><hr /><div style="text-align:center">Image </div></p>
