That makes me wonder how that word came about. o.O

Actually, I think it came from a really old Celtic sport. :P Where, that's what they did. They tried to see how high you could throw a frog.

They also kick each other's shins, and see who can remain standing the longest, and throw these things called "cabers" and see who can chuck the giant thing the furthest. :P

Yeah...it's weird. ;)


Another really awesome word I just noticed today:

Candelabra

Nessa- She's given up the veil, the vows she'd sworn, abandoned every effort to conform. Without a word to anyone she's gone her way alone, a dove escaping back into the storm.

Nolan- And though I don't understand why this happened, I know that I will when I look back someday, and see how you've brought beauty from ashes, and made me as gold purified through the flames.

Azriel- And who do you think you are, running round leaving scars, collecting your jar of hearts, and tearing love apart? You're gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul, so don't come back to me. Don't come back at all...

Yeah... o.O I'm surprised the frogs didn't start a rebellion or something...

Faceted...I like that word, somehow it seems fantasy like. :)
