Apoc-Zen Project: Ignis Fatuus












Apocryphal Zenzizenzizenzic is an old Latin phrase referring to someone who has the uncanny ability to define obscure words with pinpoint accuracy.

NOT!
(read about the project and accompanying contest)

Day 9: Ignis Fatuus: A person guilty of wearing skin-tight clothing--usually of the  brightly colored assortment or loud prints.

Men are just as guilty:


 These guys win!

  2. Why do you keep making me want to throw up? I thought we were friends!

    A way nerds can put down women who would never even look at them.
    "Check out that girl over there in the 700s? She's cute, you should talk to her."
    "Erm, no, flagen." *pushes Scotch-taped glasses up nose* "She's much too Ignus Fatuus for me."

    For the record, yes I stole, um BORROWED Professor Frink from the Simpsons, and despite how it sounds like I'm talking down, I love nerds and wish they would hit on me at the library.

  5. 2 - too, too much (which, I'm guessing, is the point here).

    Lots of Latin being laid on of late. :-}
