Pancakes on Wednesdays |
|
|
Welcome to Pancakes on Wednesdays. Wednesday August 20, 2003 |
|
Here is an amalgamation of trivial facts and seemingly useless data. Do not forget to hit the hyperlinks. We have links, lots of them.
|
EDACIOUS |
Relating to eating. That, at least, is the literal sense of the word, since it comes from the Latin verb edere, to eat. But even in Latin it had a stronger sense of voracious consumption and that was carried with it into English. It was brought into the languagesurprisingly recentlyby classically educated writers at the beginning of the nineteenth century. It never really caught on and is now almost extinct, perhaps because voracious is a better established and more vigorous-sounding alternative. The Roman writer Ovid created a maxim in his Metamorphoses: Tempus edax rerum. time devours everything. As a result, in its rare appearances the word is most likely to be linked with time. Thomas Carlyle used it in this way when he referred to events swallowed in the depths of edacious time. |

Breakfast any time of day is always good. My favorite meal. OK, let's see. Gotta have butter and some kind of berry syrup. Maple, yuck! So, how did you get the black eye? Surely you didn't smack yourself with a pancake. LOL!

You have hurt the maple trees of the world. Trees have feelings I'm told. Not BY one, mind you. Trees don't normally talk to me. That I'm aware of.
