Do you mind translalting that for me Cowboy? Translation: When the Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association stops laughing about the OLD Nebraska legacy member bareback rider from the 1970's applying for active membership in the California rodeo circuit, I will be the first one to screw myself down on the rankest snatcher they have to offer and ride him to heck and back for the money and the show, and for the attention of any female that happens to be sympathetic to any old fools such as myself with an obvious death wish. <edit> Add another word to my vocabulary.... HELP!!!!!!! </edit> |

I looked up several of the words I missed, and they are all pretty archaic English. I smell a Lit Major at work here, probably a Classic English Lit type. Of course, any quick survey like this would have limits. Still, it would be interesting to see the test biased to (for example) some particular technological or scientific field instead. One of the neat things about English is its rapid creation and acceptance of new words. I suspect there are a lot more new words coming out in Astrophysics these days than in Classic English Lit. |
