Awesomeness: a girl on my course told me that in her language there's a word that would be spelled in English 'heek' and it means 'to taste like something smells'. So, like, blood heeks of copper pennies you've held too long.

The fact that there's a word for that makes me entirely happy.

I think we should steal this word for ourselves.

Which language?

I live to plunder other languages for their vocabulary. Yesterday - no, Tuesday - I learnt "Vittu", which is is pronounced "Vit-oo" and apparently occupies a similar role to "kut" in Dutch. ;)

WIZZAJEEZESBLAH - it's Finnish. There's a book I think you may want.

*chews on your ear*

Which book is that? And which book did you want to borrow? Did you want to borrow? I forget.

It's a book of untranslatable insults in other languages, £10 from Waterstones. I may yet just buy it for you and claim it's your present or something.

I need to borrow "Strangers" at some point for magician purposes? *bats eyelids*

Sure! :D Look after it, though, it's my happyplace.

I will try to love it less thoroughly than my other books. ;)

Wait, to taste like something smells or to smell like something tastes?

Either way it is an AWESOME word and I think we should steal it.

Me three!

Seriously, coffee is a cruel joke on humanity. It smells so temptingly good, and then you put in in your mouth and have to make the Hurk Face.
