Brobdingnagian What kind of word is that? |
One invented by Jonathan Swift. They were the opposite of Lilliputians in Gulliver's Travels, being insanely large. Swift also met horse-headed people and Asians. No, seriously. That book is weird. Mind you, Swift also said, "A young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragout," in his essay 'A Modest Proposal.' (It was satire, FWIW.) |
Brobdingnagian falls into the rarely seen monujurasictopian subtype of words, and can be paired with red or white wine. |

I stopped in while the wife was watching an old re-run of The Outer Limits. So, this alien transforms itself out of a human shape to show itself to the humans. Basically, it was testing how warlike we were as a species and agreed we were alike. However, it determined we would destroy ourselves as a species before we even created the first interstellar starship, so it was going to report back that we would never be a threat. |
