Cimmerian, eidetic, priapic...etc

Cimmerian - Pertaining to the Cimmerii, a fabulous people, said to have lived, in very ancient times, in profound and perpetual darkness/ Without any light; intensely dark

where do you FIND these words? this guy must be uber smart o_o

anfractuosity - A state of being anfractuous, or full of windings and turnings; sinuosity/ A sinuous depression or sulcus like those separating the convolutions of the brain

i think i may have heard that before...must retain vocabulary words!!! like voraginous...lol that is actual pertinent as well now that i think of it...to the book i mean o_O

adamantine - Made of adamant, or having the qualities of adamant; incapable of being broken, dissolved, or penetrated; as, adamantine bonds or chains/ Like the diamond in hardness or luster

it's thundering o_o

eidetic - marked by or involving extraordinarily accurate and vivid recall especially of visual images (www.m-w.com)

ambage - Ambiguity. Often used in the plural/ ambages Winding ways or indirect proceedings. (www.thefreedictionary.com)

priapic - Of, relating to, or resembling a phallus; phallic/ Relating to or overly concerned with masculinity

never would've guessed that one. hmm...interesting tho, here's the quote: "Of course the downside is that this new discovery [(perhaps "getting off was all i needed to diminish some of this dread and panic")] has left me practically beside myself, by which i mean priapic."

this book is definitely hot lol

elegiac - (i swear i've looked this up before...oh cuz i have...i knew i sorta remember this word...i was just thinking about it in the wrong way...and i'm switching the default dictionary to www.thefreedictionary.com) 1. Of, relating to, or involving elegy or mourning or expressing sorrow for that which is irrecoverably past: an elegiac lament for youthful ideals. 2. Of or composed in elegiac couplets.
