Lyrics from Elzhi - Half Time:

 

Check me out, yow!

Is Elzhi in your area!

About to back slap and berry you!

Check! now let me show you how I play,

Leave niggers in the basement,….

Cheat trickier than the….

Everything I’ll drop or I’ll cut you like a chop song,

You should stop like when a cop …before we pop you.

You get your foot crush, acting out of source and don’t support us

You must snort dust, riding the short bus.

Cause all my animal ….stressed out on the menu,

Pull out, swinging the medal, like mechanical.

Movement, as soon as the groove …

I’ll prove that you need improvements.

Since I’m so smoothing whenever I maneuver,

And I ain’t bragging, player!

You get your spot ….

You show me right, used to show me light,

Because the phobia type.

I wouldn’t sleep on a snowy night, I’m vexed now,

Who …simple minded with a complex.

My …the cameras, I keep promoting,

Scratching their name out in terror, they ban us.

Will our rights and …the boss buried

And the song is about strong as barbarous,

For I’m scared than the omen,

Chicks give me dough in my home,

While I’m sitting spitting…

Is for real, I’m a very rap addict,

…air tub, compared to asthmatic.

Yeah, it’s like that! You know is like that!

I’m who you’re in and the haters wanna strike at!

Don’t make me … to your porch with a spike back,

And leave you front …on your bike flag.

Defeat kill the leaches, …you think you’re sweet ‘till I cut you off

And leave you in the cold, like you haven’t paid your heater bill.

Fuck your squad, I think …

For real!

It’s half time!

It’s half time!

It’s half time!

It’s half time!

Oh, apoplexy, my favorite word! You are a true sesquipedalian. Now please excuse me while I meander through the hazmatic haze of philology.

Thank you for putting together all these beautiful words! Thinking of naming my future third daughter Sonata :))

Congratulations! I'm happy you enjoy them. Sonata is a gorgeous word, and no kids can distort it into a lowbrow pun, so she'll glide through elementary school.

Did I forget "palimpsest"? "Inspissating... Hmm. I can think if I've ever heard it before.I'll add in "serendipitous" and "nonchalant". "Stuff" is a great word, but because it's so uniquely practical. Thanks, girls, for the various heads-ups.

I wouldn't boot one single word off this list, but I would add Schadenfreude; pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others

April 17, 2011 1:40 PM

Pete Daggett said...

 

... noted that you have a definition of Miniscus that I am unaware of, Meniscus: anatomical term, the curve in a liquid when observed in a cylinder... I have only heard it refered to as two specific parts of cartilage in the knee; lateral and medial menisci...

April 17, 2011 1:47 PM

Sesquipedaedalus said...

 

@Lorraine, is there something wrong with French? @Blair, "epiphany" is a lovely, bright word, coincidentally, I'm a fan of all of 'em. @Pete, "Schadenfraude" is an excellent word, it was on the Coolest list, but it is quite attractive, I can agree with you and put it on there. The term I had input is admittedly ambiguous, I can rectify that, with my limit of one word + its definition per line, it can be tough to adequately delineate a word. The one which I was thinking of was the more hard-science oriented, referring to the lateral curve noted in a test-tube or other cylindrical object which holds a liquid. I opted to avoid any medical definitions, so the way I initially ventured to define it was medical term; (the listed definition). In this link, the phenomenon can be observed in the right picture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meniscus. Mostly, I just censure the self-limiting brevity of the list, but it lessened the workload and amplified the aesthetics. Though, while miniscus is an acceptable spelling, "meniscus" seems to be more prominent. i had learned the word way back in 7th grade chemistry. So, I think I'll leave the def. as is, unless you object, but I'll alter the spelling.

WOW, I love your list ! I couldn't read it entirely but I will.

 

I am french and a lot of these words don't seem so special to me because they are so very common (even if, for some, they're pretty, like "berceuse", which remind me of childhood ^^).

But, on the other hand, a lot of words in this list are completely unknown to me, if not strange, and some are... magnificent ! I also like Pete Dagett's input : Schadenfreude.

 

I have a list of words I love (in french of course, I'm sorry ! But maybe you'll like some of them) ; the definitions are my own and, as English is not my mother-language, it won't be perfect, I'm afraid

 

nouns :

-atermoiements ("ah-terr-mwah-ma(n)") : hesitations leading to procrastination, in an annoying way.

-asphodèle ("as-fo-dell") : a flower

-alexithymie ("alexy-timmy") : having it hard to express verbally one's feeling

-vademecum (latin prononciation) : (latin "vade mecum", "come with me") a guide, a book, a notebook you use to bring with you wherever you go.

-mansuétude (litt.) ("ma(n)-sue-A-tud(e)") : disposition of one's mind leading to indulgence, clemency. (The translation I found is "leniency", I don't know if it's correct)

-succédanés ("sue-ksay-dan-nay") : some thing or person less valuable than the stuff or person they're replacing, imitating, copying. Ex : Les succédanés du Diable (Diable = Devil), or, des succédanés de films hollywoodiens (films hollywoodiens = Hollywood movies, I think you got that ! :jpotato:)

 

verbs :

-ourdir (litt.) ("oor-deer") : organize the elements of an intrigue, set a trap, a plot, a machination. Ex : "ourdir une machination"

-débusquer (litt.) ("day-bu-skay") : to hunt something or someone from its/his hiding place (The translation I found is "slush out", I don't know if it's correct).

 

adjectives :

-immarscessible (litt.) ("ee-marr-say-see-bl(ah)") : cannot possibly drown

-délicat ("day-lee-kah")

-chafouin ("shah-fwa") : (a mix between chat & fouin (= cat & weasel)) which/who looks like or make you think of the cat that just ate the canary, but in a vicious-funny way. (The translation I found was "sly", I don't know if it's correct)

 

I stop here, I gave you just a little excerpt from my personnal list. I loved yours ; I entered it in my favorites.

April 17, 2011 4:45 PM

Sesquipedaedalus said...

 

@Julia, you are straight-up awesome. I'm in the process of learning French for colloquial purposes. Your excerpts are incredible, I wish I could pronounce these with a refined accent, because they are all gorgeous. Seriously, I wish I could say something less obsequious, but it's just a series of words, some of which have direct English counterparts, but the pronunciation is so effusive. Thank you.

Vivien said...

 

Speaking of French: the second U in "ChauffeUr" is not optional ;)

 

Too bad one mistake at the very beginning of your list makes me believe the rest of it is riddled with more...

 

Ah well, I still expanded my vocabulary a bit thanks to you.

April 20, 2011 4:11 PM

Sesquipedaedalus said...

 

Indeed, you're right. Thanks for the tip, I guess I just thought I had the second "u" all along. Eh, well, I make mistakes. Although, I fully invite to further investigate for more errata, as I had believed it to be up to snuff.

Tara, I would suggest NOT naming your child Sonata. Ever hear of the Hyundai Sonata? Nothing says "precious child" like discount Korean vehicles.

"Suicide" is a pretty word?

 

Awesome list, excepting that one...

May 7, 2011 4:51 PM

julialupiot said...

 

Well I am glad you liked my input ! (Just a little word, as I am back on your blog to use it to extend my own list ^^)

I hope you enjoy learning french... it depends a lot on the teacher...

 

Another word I added recently :

Mélilot ("may-lee-low") : a tiny yellow flower, legends says it can be used as a remedy against sorrow

May 19, 2011 10:19 AM

Sesquipedaedalus said...

 

@Tony: Suicide is an intrinsically attractive word, not by the merits of its definition, but of its internal components of pronunciation, aesthetics, and general sentence flow. the phonoaesthetics of the word are pretty and mellifluous. And the poetic element of suicide has pervaded literature throughout generations.

@Julie: Please, take them. Words deserve to be well-known. This is just a shoddy monument to esoterica. I'm a dilettante when it comes to French. It's great passive learning, but without a primary teacher, it's a fruitful diversion, and the subtleties are lost upon me. Also, melilot(sorry for the lack of aigu) is a lovely word with a jaunty, woody, and whimsical cadence .
