I'm tidying up, ready to ... (15 Jun 2004)
I'm tidying up, ready to move home. Just next to my desk I've a piece of paper upon which I scribble down words that I don't know and later I lookup the definitions. Since any scrap of paper will get lost in the move I've typed it up:
| chutzpah | utter nerve |
| trite | lacks power because of overuse |
| churl | a bad tempered person |
| entheogenesis | creating the divine within |
| paragon | excellence, a peerless example |
| experiential | from experience |
| exonym | a name given by secondary persons |
| Mesopotamia | between the rivers (Greek) |
| panspermia | interplanetary seeding |
| monograph | definitive work on the subject |
| miscegenation | breeding between whites and non-whites |
