Actually, Sven, the definition I found online said that is what it meant. I really wasn't trying to be perverted, not that I'm denying perversion, mind you... ;D

Sheila, there's the same word in German! Kiffen means smoking drugs like hash or grass over here. Love, Susanne

The use of a word that sounds like what is describing. e.g. 'buzz' or as I've cited from "The Dreaming" "Bang" goes another...

Ontology:A branch of study concerned with the nature and relations of being, or things which exist, or specifically, a branch of metaphysics relating to the nature and relations of being; a particular system according to which problems of the nature of being are investigated; first philosophy. Zoomorphism:? You know, if you post 3 ? together, you'll get So this was not the intended expression.

Zoomorphism: Based on etymology, I'll guess the ability of an animal to change forms. :::Checking dictionary::: An animal assuming the attributes of a god. (I'm technically correct ;D) new word: sclerenchyma......
You must know these in advance, and only reference the dictionary after you guess or post your answer.

You must know these in advance, and only reference the dictionary after you guess or post your answer. Ok, but are you inferring that we wouldn't know the definition. You are right, zoomorphism is also the use of animals in art. I suppose the connection would have been ancient cultures who worshiped animals as the images of gods (i.e. cats in Egypt) and used them in their religious art. I was an art student. So we have to post the definition before we look it up. I just wanted the definition to sound better.

I just think to make it more fun and fair we shouldn't just look up obscure words. We should have some experience with the ones we post. (which I think we do) But I'd rather see people take a stab at it if they think they know the answer. then look it up and post the definition from the dictionary. That way we all learn something.

I have no idea why you'd respond like that. I guess I should be more careful. Did you notice the >>>>(which I think we do)<<<<< (have experience with the words) also you must look for the tongue out in conjunction with the eye roll. I'm not mean. ;D I get caught up in moderating sometimes just to stimulate discussion and keep things moving. Please don't take offense.
