Look! I sometimes do memes! Below are words I got from Firstfrost. I enjoy Badly Chosen Words and will give you some if you want.

Apparently the way to ask for words is to reply to this post with your request. Seems clunky, but there it is.

Edit: I'm not very good at memes; I'm sure I'm missing something. If you want you can reply to this with Badly Chosen Words for me and I'll post something about those, too.

Spork -- Those mostly useless pointy spoon thingies that you get from Kentucky Fried Chicken and use to eat cole slaw. I don't like cole slaw either. My father says the real word is "runsible spoon", and I saw some for sale at the Corning/Revere outlet in Wrentham recently.

Aqueduct -- These are for making your civilization grow more quickly. Romans build them.

Tonsure -- Monks shave off little circles of their hair. I suspect this tradition originated with young monks faking male pattern baldness in order to look older.

Gumption -- I haz it.

Clepsydra -- Wikipedia says either phytoplankton (yay having enough oxygen!) or a water clock. Where do you get these words?
