Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

hmmm… i’d have to say that
HotForWords is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
:wink:

&& i just noticed. these smileys are very similar to those
that are on Gaiaonline.com
idk where’d u get them?
do u share them?
or has the inter-web upgraded
and decided to give you amazing smileys?

Odds are the smilies are part of the forum software she uses, gaiaonline as you say probably uses similar software. Most of the ones here look pretty standard. It’s just certain sites that create their own, like http://www.burningsea.com has all these standard ones, plus two personal ones, a smiley face wearing a pirate hat coded with ::arr: and a female version wearing a pink pirate hat (known as “Misha’s Lil’ Pirate”, after the game developer, “Misha”) that is coded with :misha:

Every Forum has a basic layout whic hallows you to either add/remove smiles through HTML. All forum smilies are the same since 2002 but yet it all depends on what origin of forum you will be using (American/italian/French..etc..) Different origins consist of different smilies through the languange. If you go onto a japanese or korian forum and compare the smilies to a north american forum 95% of the time they will be different, but yet, their will be that odd site from the other country/origin with the same (UK-American). Game sites all tend to use the same HTML Code because they use the Forum as a Script Hoster for the game so usually they will have the same set of smilies.

lol i love how you say that.

:shock: I had no idea that this word has such deep meaning. I can’t see why beauty would have to be atoned for, nor condemned. :twisted: I don’t think that I’ll ever look at Mary Poppins the same way again. I’m glad that I get to look at my excellent teacher again though. :grin:

Sí :lol:

Wow! 5 stars… should have spent a bit more time on the actual derived meaning of the the word, 5 estrellas [nonetheless].

What supercalifragilisticexpialidocious really means:

In studying this word, we must maintain the following context: The ancient Greeks were individualistic and proud people — the idea of feeling guilt for being good would never have occurred to them — the mere thought of atoning for beauty would be anathema to them — they would exalt in being good.

To recap Marina’s identification of the various parts of the word: super{ extreme }-cali{ beauty }-fragilistic{ delicate }-expiali{ to satisfy }-docious{ educable }.

Now the parts need to be combined as per the rules of English morphology. But as per English Morphology, the morpheme -istic is a suffix, and the morpheme ex- is typically a prefix; so we actually have two words: supercalifragilistic and expialidocious. The first means a person of extreme, delicate beauty; and the second means to successfully teach an educable person.

But the concept of a person who can successfully teach an educable person is rather useless — after all, the success of the teaching is more or less guaranteed by the student being educable!

In contrast, the concept of a person who has not just the ability to teach educable ones but the ability to induce a love of learning — the concept of a person who can induce a thirst for knowledge and quench that thirst — is useful.

To convey this new concept, we need to reverse the order of the two parts of the word, thus: docious-expiali. Although English Morphology does not allow us to form a such a word, it allows us to use expiali-docious as a terminator of a word with the order of the thoughts reversed when the preceding letter is a ‘s’ — a mnemonic for this rule is the letter ‘s’ thought of as being a left arrow on top of a right arrow thereby signifying a “change in the order of the thoughts that follow”.

So, finally, we have not two but just one word:

supercalifragilistisexpialidocious

meaning:

An extreme, delicate beauty who causes a thirst for knowledge in people and satisfies that thirst

It is now clear why the word that best describes Marina is supercalifragilistisexpialidocious.
