    Afghanization, Finlandization, And The Politic-ization Of Place Names

    Recent news has been filled with analysis that attempts to make sense of current events by comparing them to past moments in history—and applying some of the terminology that originated in the midst or aftermath of those earlier events. Prominent examples include terms based on the combination of a place name and the ending -ization, such as Afghanization (in the context of the withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan) and Finlandization (in the context of the Russian invasion of Ukraine).

    Not only are such terms used in fraught political discussions, use of the words themselves is often controversial due to debates about what they mean exactly as well as how—or whether—they should be used.

    Add context to your reading of current events with this list of some of the -ization terms you’re most likely to encounter in historical analysis, along with explanations about the different meanings they can have.

    Afghanization
    The term Afghanization is most prominently used in the context of US forces in Afghanistan, particularly in the lead-up to and during the withdrawal of those forces in 2021. Specifically, it refers to the US strategy of attempting to return political and military control to Afghan forces. The term is also used separately to refer to ethnic and language assimilation within the country.

    Africanization
    The term Africanization can be used in a variety of ways. It can mean “to bring under African, especially Black African, influence or to adapt to African needs” or more specifically, “to make African, especially to give control of (policy, government, etc.) to Africans.” It is commonly used to discuss postcolonial Africa and post-apartheid South Africa. In this context, Africanization refers to restoring political, economic, and civil power to Black Africans.

    Americanization
    The word Americanization is used to refer to two separate ideas. In the early 1900s, many advocated for “Americanizing” the large number of new immigrants who were entering the United States at the time as a way to instill cultural values considered quintessentially “American.” During and after, this approach has faced criticism for forcing the loss of immigrants’ original cultures.

    More currently, the word Americanization is often used to refer to the spread of American culture across the world, especially through American media and popular culture. This term can refer to the wide availability of American pop culture, which has been noted for its influence on many other nations’ cultures.

    Arabization
    The word Arabization is used to refer to a process of promoting Arabic language and Arabic culture in education, government, and media. In particular, Arabization is often used to describe government policies that enforce this process in countries that were formerly under the control of non-Arab colonizers.

    balkanization
    The term balkanization is sometimes applied when a large place or country divides up into smaller, more homogenous communities. It can also refer to conflict between various ethnic groups in one state. The term balkanization makes reference to the Balkans, also known as the Balkan Peninsula, which split into many small countries first after the fall of the Ottoman Empire and again after the fall of the Soviet Union and the breakup of Yugoslavia.

    Dubaization
    Dubaization refers to a rapid period of development of a city or area with futuristic architecture. Dubaization takes its name from the city of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, which is known for its architectural development dating back to the 1990s.

    Finlandization
    Finlandization refers to the process by which a smaller country maintains a neutral or favorable policy toward a larger country due to influence from that larger country. Coined by political scientist Richard Lowenthal in the 1960s, the term references Finland’s neutrality toward the Soviet Union during the Cold War. A 1948 treaty stipulated Finland would remain neutral during the Cold War if in turn the Soviet Union refrained from invading the country. The term can have negative connotations, as it can imply one country is under the thumb of a more powerful one and has opted for neutrality under undue pressure.

    Japanization
    In economics, the term Japanization is used to refer to a period of deflation and economic stagnation in a country. The term references the nation of Japan, whose economic stagnation in the 1990s led to a severe financial crisis in what is now often referred to as the Lost Decade.

    Latinization
    The term Latinization has several distinct senses:

    - Latinization can refer to the act of rendering a language into a script that uses the Latin alphabet. For example, a translator might Latinize a text by taking Chinese or Hindi characters and converting them to Latin letters.
    - In religious context, Latinization can refer to the process by which non-Latin Christian churches were made to conform to the practices of the Latin and Roman Catholic Church, primarily during the Middle Ages.
    - Latinization can also refer to a place becoming similar to places in Latin America. For example, US cities with large Hispanic populations, such as Miami, have been described as being Latinized.

    Mongolization
    The term Mongolization is often used to refer to the assimilation of language and culture that occurred by peoples who were conquered by the Mongol Empire. For many peoples, this process occurred over a long period of time and often involved their traditional culture slowly blending with Mongol culture.

    Ottomanization
    Ottomanization refers to the adoption of the culture of the Ottoman Empire by the peoples and places under its rule. Historically, this term has referred to the transition from the Christian, Greek traditions of the Byzantines to the Islamic, Turkish traditions and culture of the Ottomans.

    Romanization
    The term Romanization is often used to refer to the cultural influence practiced by the Roman Empire. At its peak, the Roman Empire encompassed an incredibly diverse range of countries and cultures, which allowed for a large-scale Romanization, the influence of which can still be seen today in the many languages, architecture, and cultures retaining Roman influences.

    Sinicization
    Sinicization refers to the spreading of Chinese culture, religion, and politics. The term Sinicization has also been used, including by the Chinese government, to refer to China’s policy of enforcing the assimilation of ethnic and religious minorities to Chinese practices. The beginning of the term is a version of Sino-, which comes from a Latin word referring to China and is used in many other terms referring to China or Chinese culture (such as Sinology).

    Vietnamization
    Vietnamization is the name given to a strategy employed by the Nixon administration as an attempt to end US involvement in the highly unpopular Vietnam War. The strategy intended for the US to transfer all military responsibility to South Vietnamese forces and prepare South Vietnam to fight North Vietnam. The process called Afghanization is sometimes likened to Vietnamization due to similarities in the failures and other aspects of the respective conflicts.

    Add Professional Pizazz To Your Resume With These Adjectives

    When writing a resume, it is crucial to sell yourself as best you can and highlight all of your strongest qualities while focusing on your experiences and successes. That being said, your resume won’t turn heads with common, boring words like good, fine, and nice. No, you need to make your resume truly shine with some bold, magnificent words that will make you stand out.

    That is where adjectives come into play. Not just any adjectives, though, but powerful adjectives that vividly describe how impressive you and your past accomplishments are. By skillfully using adjectives, you can make it clear that you are exactly the right person for the job.

    What is an adjective?

    Adjectives: grammar definition

    To start, an adjective is a word that modifies and describes a noun, pronoun, or anything acting as a noun in a sentence. Descriptive words like funny, green, fast, and skittish are some simple examples of adjectives. If you are trying to identify whether or not a word is an adjective, just ask yourself if it is modifying a noun or pronoun and providing some info about it. If it is, you are more than likely looking at an adjective.

    Adjectives often come right before the nouns that they modify as in The happy children played with the silly puppies. However, adjectives can also be separated from their nouns if a sentence uses a linking verb like look or seem. For example, in the sentence That girl is smart the adjective smart is connected to the noun girl through the linking verb is.

    🖋Adjectives in resumes

    Adjectives are powerful, descriptive words that you can add to your resume to give more detail about who you are and what you have done. Adjectives can add some extra punch and pizzazz to really kick up your resume to the next level. Here are some examples:

    - Developed a good inventory system.
    - Developed a modern, efficient, and affordable inventory system.

    You can see that the first option is really lacking the oomph that the second example has. Additionally, the second option thoroughly describes how great the system you created was. After all, those impressive adjectives wouldn’t be there without you!

    Whether you’re writing a brand-new resume from scratch for the first time or are simply jazzing up your current one, here’s how to strategically make use of adjectives to really bring the heat.

    How to use powerful adjectives in resumes

    If you have any experience at all with resume writing, you already know that it is deceptively difficult. Because a resume’s purpose is to essentially “sell” yourself and your skillset to recruiters and hiring managers, each sentence needs to be carefully and thoughtfully crafted. You want to thoroughly describe your duties and responsibilities and your previous jobs while simultaneously telling the reader something about who you are as an employee—all while keeping it as brief as possible and trying not to be repetitive. That’s a tall order for just a few short bullet points!

    That’s exactly why adjectives are so crucial to good resume writing. By simply swapping out a few words here and there, you can more clearly showcase your skills, provide as much detail as possible, and lead with the most compelling words that will keep recruiters’ eyes on your resume for longer.

    Try sprinkling in some of the powerful adjectives below throughout your resume, including in your job descriptions, summary statement, and even in your cover letter. (Pro tip: you can also use them on your LinkedIn profile in the same way!)

    Solved a challenging problem

    If you helped your team come up with a viable solution for an ongoing issue, you could describe your process or solutions with:

    masterful
    skillful
    excellent
    strategic
    magnificent
    superb
    adept
    professional
    perceptive
    astute
    perspicacious
    clever
    savvy
    potent
    impressive
    cunning
    unconventional
    out-of-the-box
    original
    imaginative
    inventive

    Example: Streamlined the assembly process by developing an inventive, professional scheduling system that made clever adjustments to shift lengths in order to ensure workers make excellent progress during work hours.

    Supported internal stakeholders

    Internal stakeholders are people whose interest in a company is the result of a direct relationship, such as employment, ownership, or investment. Whether you interacted directly with company investors or simply managed the needs of a team of employees, elaborate on your specific experience with:

    cooperative
    coordinative
    coordinated
    collaborative
    synergetic
    synergistic
    harmonious
    unified
    agreeable
    open-minded
    receptive
    cordial
    persuasive
    diplomatic
    humble

    Example: Fostered a unified, cooperative environment in which shareholders knew that their questions and concerns would be handled by a diplomatic, open-minded representative.

    Found ways to save time or money

    Helping companies streamline their efforts and operate more efficiently or cost effectively is no small feat, which is why it’s such an impactful accomplishment in the eyes of recruiters. To really drive the point home on your resume, try describing your plans and solutions using:

    efficient
    effective
    capable
    affordable
    productive
    cost-effective
    dynamic
    streamlined
    long-lasting
    prudent
    durable
    reliable

    Example: Improved the customer service experience by organizing an efficient, cost-effective troubleshooting process that emphasized prudent, reliable solutions to the most common issues.

    Grew sales

    On the other hand, it’s equally as impressive if you’ve played a major role in making the company money. Sell your great solutions, strategies, and products you with:

    profitable
    economical
    valuable
    commercial
    beneficial
    successful
    fruitful
    enticing
    engaging
    captivating
    money-making
    lucrative
    remunerative
    rewarding

    Example: Constantly led the company to successful, lucrative quarters by ensuring customers saw our products as the most enticing and captivating items on the market.

    Launched a feature or project

    Did you lead the charge on an exciting new endeavor or help launch a company-wide initiative? Illustrate just how impactful your role was with:

    creative
    resourceful
    innovative
    cutting-edge
    avante-garde
    advanced
    sleek
    groundbreaking
    progressive
    revolutionary
    state-of-the-art
    unique
    futuristic
    ultramodern

    Example: Developed a sleek, cutting-edge marketing strategy that made it clear that the company was leading the way with revolutionary, groundbreaking products.

    Led a team

    Strong management and leadership skills are highly valuable for job-seekers in any industry. Set yours apart from the rest by using:

    authoritative
    responsible
    assertive
    decisive
    compelling
    commanding

    resolved
    driven
    bold
    confident

    motivating
    fearless
    brave
    resolute

    Example: Provided inspirational, resolute leadership to a team of ten graphic artists. Acted as a bold, resolute manager while remaining decisive and confident during times of crisis.

    Add Professional Pizazz To Your Resume With These Adjectives When writing a resume, it is crucial to sell yourself as best you can and highlight all of your strongest qualities while focusing on your experiences and successes. That being said, your resume won’t turn heads with common, boring words like good, fine, and nice. No, you need to make your resume truly shine with some bold, magnificent words that will make you stand out. That is where adjectives come into play. Not just any adjectives, though, but powerful adjectives that vividly describe how impressive you and your past accomplishments are. By skillfully using adjectives, you can make it clear that you are exactly the right person for the job. What is an adjective? Adjectives: grammar definition To start, an adjective is a word that modifies and describes a noun, pronoun, or anything acting as a noun in a sentence. Descriptive words like funny, green, fast, and skittish are some simple examples of adjectives. If you are trying to identify whether or not a word is an adjective, just ask yourself if it is modifying a noun or pronoun and providing some info about it. If it is, you are more than likely looking at an adjective. Adjectives often come right before the nouns that they modify as in The happy children played with the silly puppies. However, adjectives can also be separated from their nouns if a sentence uses a linking verb like look or seem. For example, in the sentence That girl is smart the adjective smart is connected to the noun girl through the linking verb is. 🖋Adjectives in resumes Adjectives are powerful, descriptive words that you can add to your resume to give more detail about who you are and what you have done. Adjectives can add some extra punch and pizzazz to really kick up your resume to the next level. Here are some examples: - Developed a good inventory system. - Developed a modern, efficient, and affordable inventory system. You can see that the first option is really lacking the oomph that the second example has. Additionally, the second option thoroughly describes how great the system you created was. After all, those impressive adjectives wouldn’t be there without you! Whether you’re writing a brand-new resume from scratch for the first time or are simply jazzing up your current one, here’s how to strategically make use of adjectives to really bring the heat. How to use powerful adjectives in resumes If you have any experience at all with resume writing, you already know that it is deceptively difficult. Because a resume’s purpose is to essentially “sell” yourself and your skillset to recruiters and hiring managers, each sentence needs to be carefully and thoughtfully crafted. You want to thoroughly describe your duties and responsibilities and your previous jobs while simultaneously telling the reader something about who you are as an employee—all while keeping it as brief as possible and trying not to be repetitive. That’s a tall order for just a few short bullet points! That’s exactly why adjectives are so crucial to good resume writing. By simply swapping out a few words here and there, you can more clearly showcase your skills, provide as much detail as possible, and lead with the most compelling words that will keep recruiters’ eyes on your resume for longer. Try sprinkling in some of the powerful adjectives below throughout your resume, including in your job descriptions, summary statement, and even in your cover letter. (Pro tip: you can also use them on your LinkedIn profile in the same way!) Solved a challenging problem If you helped your team come up with a viable solution for an ongoing issue, you could describe your process or solutions with: masterful skillful excellent strategic magnificent superb adept professional perceptive astute perspicacious clever savvy potent impressive cunning unconventional out-of-the-box original imaginative inventive Example: Streamlined the assembly process by developing an inventive, professional scheduling system that made clever adjustments to shift lengths in order to ensure workers make excellent progress during work hours. Supported internal stakeholders Internal stakeholders are people whose interest in a company is the result of a direct relationship, such as employment, ownership, or investment. Whether you interacted directly with company investors or simply managed the needs of a team of employees, elaborate on your specific experience with: cooperative coordinative coordinated collaborative synergetic synergistic harmonious unified agreeable open-minded receptive cordial persuasive diplomatic humble Example: Fostered a unified, cooperative environment in which shareholders knew that their questions and concerns would be handled by a diplomatic, open-minded representative. Found ways to save time or money Helping companies streamline their efforts and operate more efficiently or cost effectively is no small feat, which is why it’s such an impactful accomplishment in the eyes of recruiters. To really drive the point home on your resume, try describing your plans and solutions using: efficient effective capable affordable productive cost-effective dynamic streamlined long-lasting prudent durable reliable Example: Improved the customer service experience by organizing an efficient, cost-effective troubleshooting process that emphasized prudent, reliable solutions to the most common issues. Grew sales On the other hand, it’s equally as impressive if you’ve played a major role in making the company money. Sell your great solutions, strategies, and products you with: profitable economical valuable commercial beneficial successful fruitful enticing engaging captivating money-making lucrative remunerative rewarding Example: Constantly led the company to successful, lucrative quarters by ensuring customers saw our products as the most enticing and captivating items on the market. Launched a feature or project Did you lead the charge on an exciting new endeavor or help launch a company-wide initiative? Illustrate just how impactful your role was with: creative resourceful innovative cutting-edge avante-garde advanced sleek groundbreaking progressive revolutionary state-of-the-art unique futuristic ultramodern Example: Developed a sleek, cutting-edge marketing strategy that made it clear that the company was leading the way with revolutionary, groundbreaking products. Led a team Strong management and leadership skills are highly valuable for job-seekers in any industry. Set yours apart from the rest by using: authoritative responsible assertive decisive compelling commanding organized resolved driven bold confident inspiring inspirational motivating fearless brave resolute Example: Provided inspirational, resolute leadership to a team of ten graphic artists. Acted as a bold, resolute manager while remaining decisive and confident during times of crisis. Showed technical proficiency Demonstrate your skill set and showcase the amount of hands-on experience you have in your industry with: focused determined dedicated practical reasonable logical judicious thorough rational observant attentive cognizant aware knowledgeable mindful Example: Remained focused and attentive when reviewing datasheets. Kept mindful of company standards and made judicious use of resources when compiling thorough error reports. Get descriptive with adjectives When picking the right adjectives for your resume, you really want to make yourself sound special. Don’t be afraid to kick things up a notch and use eye-catching adjectives that’ll make your resume memorable.

    Demonstrate Your Way With Words With Synonyms For “Vocabulary”

    It will probably not surprise you to learn that we are sort of obsessed with vocabulary. We love all words from A to Z, even ones that start with weird symbols like Ægypt. When it comes to talking about the collection of all the unusual words we have learned, it’s not enough to just call it vocabulary. This got us thinking about synonyms for vocabulary and all the wonderful terms we can use to talk about all the words we know.

    The word vocabulary comes from the Latin vocābulārius, meaning “of words.” A related word in English that you might recognize is vocal, from Latin vōcālis. At the root of both terms is vox, meaning “voice.” Essentially, a vocabulary is a collection of the terms you use to call things. Read on to find out new terms you can use to describe your vocabulary.

    dictionary
    The dictionary is one of the best places to find vocabulary words, so much so that the word dictionary itself is a near-synonym for vocabulary. The word dictionary means “a lexical resource containing a selection of the words of a language.” Dictionaries have been around since ancient times—the earliest known dictionaries date to around 2300 BCE.

    vocable
    We noted the Latin root of vocabulary already. Another word that shares that same root is vocable, “a word; term; name.” However, vocable is also used more generally to refer to utterances not typically considered words, such as abracadabra, a nonsense expression used in magic tricks.

    expression
    The word expression is a more everyday synonym for vocabulary. While expression is often used to mean “the act of expressing or setting forth in words,” it can also specifically refer to “a particular word, phrase, or form of words.” The word expression has something of a culinary origin; it comes from the Latin expressiō meaning “a pressing out.”

    terminology
    A slightly more sophisticated but still quotidian synonym for vocabulary is terminology, “the system of terms belonging or peculiar to a science, art, or specialized subject; nomenclature.” The combining form -logy is used to name sciences or bodies of knowledge. This means that the word terminology has another, if less common, meaning: “the science of terms, as in particular sciences or arts.”

    phraseology
    Another synonym for vocabulary that ends in -logy is phraseology, “manner or style of verbal expression; characteristic language,” or simply “expressions; phrases.” The word phraseology was coined by a German philologist (a term that refers to a person who specializes in linguistics or literary texts) who made a slight mistake. The correct transcription of the word from Greek would be phrasiology, but the erroneous phraseology stuck.

    locution
    A synonym for phraseology that’s less of a mouthful is locution, “a particular form of expression; a word, phrase, expression, or idiom, especially as used by a particular person, group, etc.” Locution is often specifically used to refer to oral rather than written language (meaning, words spoken aloud rather than written down). An archaic term related to locution is locutorium or locutory, meaning “parlor,” in the sense of “a room in a monastery where the inhabitants may converse with visitors or with each other.”

    lexicon
    Another sophisticated synonym for vocabulary is lexicon, “the vocabulary of a particular language, field, social class, person, etc.” A lexicon is essentially any collection of words. Each of us has our own mental lexicon, which is the collection of words that is stored, understood, and used by an individual. These mental lexicons are made up of lexemes and lemmas that help us name and describe the world.

    lexeme
    A lexeme is “a lexical unit in a language, as a word or base; vocabulary item.” A lexeme can be made up of one word or multiple words. For example, “run” and “speak up” are both lexemes. Lexeme ultimately comes from the Greek lexikós, meaning “of or pertaining to words.”

    wording
    As you may have guessed, there are a number of synonyms for vocabulary that include “word.” One of these is wording, “the act or manner of expressing in words; phrasing.” The term wording is used to particularly signal that the words were chosen deliberately and with care to transmit a message clearly.

    wordstock
    A more obscure synonym that wording is wordstock, “all the words that make up a language or dialect, or the set of words that are known or used by a particular person or group; vocabulary.” Stock literally means “inventory,” but it comes from Old English stoc(c), meaning “stump, stake, post, log.”

    word-hoard
    One of the more delightful terms to refer to mental lexicon is word-hoard, “a person’s vocabulary.” The origin of hoard gives us a clue about how important words are. Hoard comes from the Old Saxon hord meaning “treasure; hiddenmost place.”

    cant
    A synonym for vocabulary that looks suspiciously like the contraction for “cannot” is cant [ kant ], a word that means “the phraseology peculiar to a particular class, party, profession, etc.” This word has more negative connotations than the other synonyms we have looked at. It can also be used as a noun to mean “whining or singsong speech, especially of beggars” or as a verb to mean “to talk hypocritically.”

    Know what does sound nice? These synonyms and alternatives for the word nice.

    parlance
    A sophisticated term for vocabulary with a frisson of French is parlance, “a way or manner of speaking; vernacular; idiom.” The word comes from the French parler meaning “to speak.” As you might guess, parlance is most often used to refer to speech or dialect rather than written language.

    jargon
    A kind of vocabulary one is often cautioned to avoid when writing for general audiences is jargon, “the language, especially the vocabulary, peculiar to a particular trade, profession, or group.” The word comes from the Old French jargon, meaning “warbling of birds, prattle, chatter, talk.”

    lingo
    A near-synonym for jargon is lingo, “the language and speech, especially the jargon, slang, or argot, of a particular field, group, or individual.” The word lingo is said to be an altered form of lingua, meaning “language,” a reference to the phrase lingua franca, “any language that is widely used as a means of communication among speakers of other languages.” The expression lingua franca literally translates to “Frankish language,” with Frankish as a term referring to Europeans and dating back to the Crusades.

    turn of phrase
    The expression turn of phrase refers to “a particular arrangement of words.” It’s a good idiom for drawing attention to unusual or exceptional word choice. Turn of phrase alludes to the turning or shaping of objects (as on a lathe), a usage dating from the late 1600s.

While expression is often used to mean “the act of expressing or setting forth in words,” it can also specifically refer to “a particular word, phrase, or form of words.” The word expression has something of a culinary origin; it comes from the Latin expressiō meaning “a pressing out.” terminology A slightly more sophisticated but still quotidian synonym for vocabulary is terminology, “the system of terms belonging or peculiar to a science, art, or specialized subject; nomenclature.” The combining form -logy is used to name sciences or bodies of knowledge. This means that the word terminology has another, if less common, meaning: “the science of terms, as in particular sciences or arts.” phraseology Another synonym for vocabulary that ends in -logy is phraseology, “manner or style of verbal expression; characteristic language,” or simply “expressions; phrases.” The word phraseology was coined by a German philologist (a term that refers to a person who specializes in linguistics or literary texts) who made a slight mistake. The correct transcription of the word from Greek would be phrasiology, but the erroneous phraseology stuck. locution A synonym for phraseology that’s less of a mouthful is locution, “a particular form of expression; a word, phrase, expression, or idiom, especially as used by a particular person, group, etc.” Locution is often specifically used to refer to oral rather than written language (meaning, words spoken aloud rather than written down). An archaic term related to locution is locutorium or locutory, meaning “parlor,” in the sense of “a room in a monastery where the inhabitants may converse with visitors or with each other.” lexicon Another sophisticated synonym for vocabulary is lexicon, “the vocabulary of a particular language, field, social class, person, etc.” A lexicon is essentially any collection of words. Each of us has our own mental lexicon, which is the collection of words that is stored, understood, and used by an individual. These mental lexicons are made up of lexemes and lemmas that help us name and describe the world. lexeme A lexeme is “a lexical unit in a language, as a word or base; vocabulary item.” A lexeme can be made up of one word or multiple words. For example, “run” and “speak up” are both lexemes. Lexeme ultimately comes from the Greek lexikós, meaning “of or pertaining to words.” wording As you may have guessed, there are a number of synonyms for vocabulary that include “word.” One of these is wording, “the act or manner of expressing in words; phrasing.” The term wording is used to particularly signal that the words were chosen deliberately and with care to transmit a message clearly. wordstock A more obscure synonym that wording is wordstock, “all the words that make up a language or dialect, or the set of words that are known or used by a particular person or group; vocabulary.” Stock literally means “inventory,” but it comes from Old English stoc(c), meaning “stump, stake, post, log.” word-hoard One of the more delightful terms to refer to mental lexicon is word-hoard, “a person’s vocabulary.” The origin of hoard gives us a clue about how important words are. Hoard comes from the Old Saxon hord meaning “treasure; hiddenmost place.” cant A synonym for vocabulary that looks suspiciously like the contraction for “cannot” is cant [ kant ], a word that means “the phraseology peculiar to a particular class, party, profession, etc.” This word has more negative connotations than the other synonyms we have looked at. It can also be used as a noun to mean “whining or singsong speech, especially of beggars” or as a verb to mean “to talk hypocritically.” Know what does sound nice? These synonyms and alternatives for the word nice. parlance A sophisticated term for vocabulary with a frisson of French is parlance, “a way or manner of speaking; vernacular; idiom.” The word comes from the French parler meaning “to speak.” As you might guess, parlance is most often used to refer to speech or dialect rather than written language. jargon A kind of vocabulary one is often cautioned to avoid when writing for general audiences is jargon, “the language, especially the vocabulary, peculiar to a particular trade, profession, or group.” The word comes from the Old French jargon, meaning “warbling of birds, prattle, chatter, talk.” lingo A near-synonym for jargon is lingo, “the language and speech, especially the jargon, slang, or argot, of a particular field, group, or individual.” The word lingo is said to be an altered form of lingua, meaning “language,” a reference to the phrase lingua franca, “any language that is widely used as a means of communication among speakers of other languages.” The expression lingua franca literally translates to “Frankish language,” with Frankish as a term referring to Europeans and dating back to the Crusades. turn of phrase The expression turn of phrase refers to “a particular arrangement of words.” It’s a good idiom for drawing attention to unusual or exceptional word choice. Turn of phrase alludes to the turning or shaping of objects (as on a lathe), a usage dating from the late 1600s. ©2025 AAKKHRA All Rights Reserved.

    Graduation Quotes To Lead You Into The Next Chapter

    Every spring, graduates of colleges and universities around the US are awarded their degrees at commencement ceremonies. “Pomp and Circumstance” will be played, mortarboard caps will be thrown, and a commencement address will be given by a notable figure. The goal of a commencement address is to give advice that can be taken into the “real world” after graduation. It’s an opportunity to reflect on what values are truly meaningful, the importance of education, and how to make a difference. Graduate or not, we can all stand to learn from the words of writers, politicians, musicians, and others. These 12 quotes from some of the most impactful or notable commencement addresses will inspire you, challenge you, and give you a new sense of purpose.

    1. “The really important kind of freedom involves attention, and awareness, and discipline, and effort, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them, over and over, in myriad petty little unsexy ways, every day.”
    —David Foster Wallace, 2005 Kenyon College commencement

    myriad

    In one of the most famous commencement addresses of all time, “This is Water,” writer David Foster Wallace encouraged graduates to rethink their ideas about freedom. The word myriad [ mir-ee-uhd ] means “of an indefinitely great number; innumerable.” Myriad comes from the Greek for “ten thousand,” and can be used in English to mean the same, but DFW didn’t have this meaning in mind here.

    2. “I don’t know what your future is, but if you are willing to take the harder way, the more complicated one, the one with more failures at first than successes, the one that has ultimately proven to have more meaning, more victory, more glory then you will not regret it.”
    —Chadwick Boseman, 2018 Howard University commencement

    glory

    The actor Chadwick Boseman died tragically at a young age from colon cancer. Knowing this makes his words to graduates at his alma mater, Howard, even more poignant. He shares his ideas about how one can achieve glory, “very great praise, honor, or distinction bestowed by common consent; renown.” While today glory has a very positive connotation, this wasn’t always the case. In its earliest uses, glory was used more in the sense of vainglory, “excessive elation or pride over one’s own achievements.”

    3. “As every past generation has had to disenthrall itself from an inheritance of truisms and stereotypes, so in our own time we must move on from the reassuring repetition of stale phrases to a new, difficult, but essential confrontation with reality. For the great enemy of truth is very often not the lie—deliberate, contrived, and dishonest—but the myth—persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.”
    —President John F. Kennedy, 1962 Yale University commencement

    disenthrall

    President John F. Kennedy spent most of his 1962 commencement speech at Yale talking about his vision of government, but he also took time to give advice to the graduates. He says young people need to disenthrall themselves from old myths and stereotypes. Disenthrall is a verb meaning “to free from bondage; liberate.” Thrall is an old word meaning “a person who is morally or mentally enslaved by some power” or, more simply, “slavery.”

    4. “[T]hough it’s crucial to make a living, that shouldn’t be your inspiration or your aspiration. Do it for yourself, your highest self, for your own pride, joy, ego, gratification, expression, love, fulfillment, happiness—whatever you want to call it.”
    —Billy Joel, 1993 Berklee College of Music commencement

    fulfillment

    Activist and musician Billy Joel, addressing graduates of the prestigious music school Berklee College, gave advice on how to direct creative energies to making the world a better place. He encourages them to do work for their own fulfillment, “the state or act of bringing something to realization.” Fulfillment is often used to describe the feeling one has when one accomplishes something of personal significance.

    5. “I want you all to stay true to the most real, most sincere, most authentic parts of yourselves. I want you to ask those basic questions: Who do you want to be? What inspires you? How do you want to give back?”
    —First Lady Michelle Obama, 2015 Tuskegee University commencement

    authentic

    On a similar note as Billy Joel, former First Lady Michelle Obama exhorts students to be authentic, which here means “representing one’s true nature or beliefs; true to oneself.” The word authentic comes from the Greek authentikós, meaning “original, primary, at first hand.”

    6. “I hope you are never victims, but I hope you have no power over other people. And when you fail, and are defeated, and in pain, and in the dark, then I hope you will remember that darkness is your country, where you live, where no wars are fought and no wars are won, but where the future is.”
    —Ursula K. Le Guin, 1983 Mills College commencement

    future

    Science fiction writer Ursula K. Le Guin was no stranger to imagining new worlds and possibilities. So it makes sense that she talked to graduates about the future, “time that is to be or come hereafter.” While today we use future as a noun and adjective, in the mid-1600s, future was also used as a verb to mean “to put off to a future day,” as in They future their work because they are lazy.

    7. “As you approach your future, there will be ample opportunity to becomejadedand cynical, but I urge you to resist cynicism—the world is still a beautiful place and change is possible.”
    —Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, 2011 Harvard University commencement

    jaded

    Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is the former president of Liberia and was the first woman to lead an African nation. She spoke at her alma mater, Harvard, about the importance of advocating for change. She notes that many people become jaded as they age, a word that here means “worn out or wearied, as by overwork or overuse.” This sense of jaded comes from the Middle English jade, “a worn-out, broken-down, worthless, or vicious horse.”

    8. “Everything meaningful about this moment, and these four years, will be meaningful inside you, not outside you … As long as you store it inside yourself, it’s not going anywhere—or it’s going everywhere with you.”
    —Margaret Edson, 2008 Smith College commencement

    meaningful

    Educator and playwright Margaret Edson told graduates at Smith College that they will carry what is meaningful about their experience with them throughout their lives. Meaningful means “full of meaning, significance, purpose, or value.” Meaningful is formed from a combination of meaning and the suffix -ful, meaning “full of” or “characterized by.” It’s one of many suffixes from Old English that is still present in our language today.

    9. “If you really want to fly, just harness your power to your passion. Honor your calling. Everyone has one.”
    —Oprah Winfrey, 2008 Stanford commencement

    harness

    Television host Oprah Winfrey is known for being an inspiration, and her commencement speech at Stanford University in 2008 was certainly inspirational. She urged students to “harness [their] power to [their] passion.” Harness here is being used figuratively and as a verb to mean “to bring under conditions for effective use; gain control over for a particular end.” Harness comes from the Old Norse *hernest meaning “provisions for an armed force.” The word’s meaning has changed quite a lot since! [checking]

    10. “When things are going sweetly and peacefully, please pause a moment, and then say out loud, “If this isn’t nice, what is?””
    —Kurt Vonnegut, 1999 Agnes Scott College commencement

    sweetly

    The writer Kurt Vonnegut wanted graduates to take time to reflect on the goodness in life. He describes this as “when things are going sweetly,” a word commonly associated with sugar but that can also describe anything “pleasing or agreeable; delightful.” Sweet is an interesting word that is closely related to its ancient Proto-Indo-European original. You can learn more about the history of the word at our entry for sweet.

    11. “From my point of view, which is that of a storyteller, I see your life as already artful, waiting, just waiting and ready for you to make it art.”
    —Toni Morrison, 2004 Wellesley College commencement

    artful

    Novelist Toni Morrison in her commencement address at Wellesley College told graduates she saw their lives as artful. While this word can mean “slyly crafty or cunning; deceitful; tricky,” it is clear from the context that Morrison meant it in the sense of “done with or characterized by art or skill.” In other words, the graduates have the skills, power, and beauty to create a good life.

    12. “If I must give any of you advice it would be Say Yes. Say Yes, And … and create your own destiny.”
    —Maya Rudolph, 2015 Tulane University commencement

    destiny

    Graduation is a time to think about the future and one’s destiny, in the sense of “something that is to happen or has happened to a particular person or thing; lot or fortune.” Destiny is often taken to be something that is “predetermined, usually inevitable or irresistible.” But actor Maya Rudolph takes this word in a different direction, saying graduates should “create [their] own destiny.”

    Graduation season is a time to consider our own futures, destinies, passions, and desires. We hope these inspiring words give you something to chew on as you go forth into the “real world.”

    What Do You Like To Be Called? Words For Types Of Nicknames

    A nickname by any other name would smell just as sweet. Okay, so maybe that’s not how the saying goes, but we happen to think it’s true anyway. Nicknames are names that are substituted for the proper name of a person or place, like calling LeBron James “King James.”

    Nicknames are created for many different reasons. Sometimes they evolve naturally out of close association with someone. Other times, they may take hold based on qualities or features someone is well known for. There are a lot of different types of nicknames, as well as words we can use to describe them. From pet name to internet handle, here are 11 other words to use to talk about nicknames and the unique history of each one.

    pet name

    A pet name is a nickname that might exist within a family or close relationship. It means “a name or a term of address used to express affection for a person, thing, etc.” The term has been around for more than 100 years, first appearing in English between 1910 and 1915. Because pet names are typically affectionate, they’re nicknames you might hear a parent using for a child or siblings using to identify one another. A pet name probably isn’t something you’d hear in less familiar settings.

    AKA

    AKA (or A.K.A.) stands for “also known as.” If you have a nickname, you are “also known as” that name. This abbreviation, which entered English in the late 1940s, is used by law enforcement to specify an alias. But it’s also commonly used to indicate that a person goes by another name in many different settings. And it can be used facetiously to share extra information about someone. For example, My sister, AKA the most organized person in the entire world, somehow forgot my birthday.

    handle

    In the digital age, most of us have some kind of handle. That’s “a username, as on a social media website.” And yes, that counts as a type of nickname. It’s another name you’re known by, after all, even if it’s only among online friends. The word has existed in English since before the year 900, though it didn’t come to be associated with names until the 1830s, when it was used more generally to mean “nickname.” The term eventually came to include radio nicknames, and later, usernames on the internet.

    sobriquet

    Say nickname, but make it fancy. Essentially, that’s what sobriquet does. This word, borrowed from French, literally means “nickname.” In many cases, sobriquet indicates playfulness or a nickname that is used in jest. This might mean a childhood pet name or a funny name used between friends. The word sobriquet entered English in the 1600s.

    moniker

    Any name you go by can be considered a moniker. This term simply means “a person’s name, especially a nickname or alias.” The origins of this word aren’t exactly clear. One possibility is that it’s associated with monk, as nuns and monks frequently change their names upon taking their vows. It may also be a permutation, or transformation, of the Old Irish ainm, meaning “name.”

    pen name

    Sometimes nicknames are used for professional reasons, as is demonstrated by the phrase pen name. A pen name is “a pseudonym used by an author.” This might be a variation of their real name or a different name entirely. Mark Twain, for example, is a pen name used by Samuel Langhorne Clemens. Meanwhile George R. R. Martin is the author’s real name, but R. R. is used in place of Richard Raymond. Pen name is a translation of the French nom de plume, and it has been in use in English since the 1800s.

    byname

    What’s your byname? A byname is “a secondary name,” whether that’s a surname, a nickname, or something else. This term may be used to describe any type of nickname, rather than only nicknames that are familiar or used for a specific purpose. Think of it as another way of saying “a name you go by.” Though it’s not commonly used now, the word byname has existed in English since the 1300s.

    cognomen

    We bet you didn’t know you have a cognomen. While this word might look like the name of some kind of scary medical condition, it actually means “any name, especially a nickname.” Nomen means “name” in Latin, and co or cog means “with.” This 19th century word, then, literally means “with name,” and it can be broadly used to talk about any type of nickname.

    appellation

    A more official nickname might also be called an appellation. This word, which entered English in the early 1400s, means “a name, title, or designation.” Often, an appellation indicates a more official or well-known designation than just a familiar nickname. Think: Alexander The Great or the early American leaders known as The Founding Fathers. An appellation may also include an official title, such as doctor, bishop, or duke.

    term of endearment

    Nicknames are for lovers, at least in this case. A term of endearment is a nickname that shows esteem, affection, or love. This may be more personal, like a pet name, or it might include commonly used affectionate names, like honey, baby, or sweetie. Terms of endearment are typically reserved for intimate relationships, though some could also apply to family or close friends.

    nom de guerre

    Authors aren’t the only people who sometimes change their names. A nom de guerre is another way of saying pseudonym. It’s “an assumed name, under which a person fights, paints, writes, etc.” In French, nom de guerre meant “a war name,” or a name taken by a soldier upon entering the armed services. In English, it’s more generally understood to mean any kind of assumed name, whether it’s Stefani Germanotta being known as the musician “Lady Gaga” or Erik Weisz assuming the magician name of “Harry Houdini.”

    What Do You Like To Be Called? Words For Types Of Nicknames A nickname by any other name would smell just as sweet. Okay, so maybe that’s not how the saying goes, but we happen to think it’s true anyway. Nicknames are names that are substituted for the proper name of a person or place, like calling LeBron James “King James.” Nicknames are created for many different reasons. Sometimes they evolve naturally out of close association with someone. Other times, they may take hold based on qualities or features someone is well known for. There are a lot of different types of nicknames, as well as words we can use to describe them. From pet name to internet handle, here are 11 other words to use to talk about nicknames and the unique history of each one. pet name A pet name is a nickname that might exist within a family or close relationship. It means “a name or a term of address used to express affection for a person, thing, etc.” The term has been around for more than 100 years, first appearing in English between 1910 and 1915. Because pet names are typically affectionate, they’re nicknames you might hear a parent using for a child or siblings using to identify one another. A pet name probably isn’t something you’d hear in less familiar settings. AKA AKA (or A.K.A.) stands for “also known as.” If you have a nickname, you are “also known as” that name. This abbreviation, which entered English in the late 1940s, is used by law enforcement to specify an alias. But it’s also commonly used to indicate that a person goes by another name in many different settings. And it can be used facetiously to share extra information about someone. For example, My sister, AKA the most organized person in the entire world, somehow forgot my birthday. handle In the digital age, most of us have some kind of handle. That’s “a username, as on a social media website.” And yes, that counts as a type of nickname. It’s another name you’re known by, after all, even if it’s only among online friends. The word has existed in English since before the year 900, though it didn’t come to be associated with names until the 1830s, when it was used more generally to mean “nickname.” The term eventually came to include radio nicknames, and later, usernames on the internet. sobriquet Say nickname, but make it fancy. Essentially, that’s what sobriquet does. This word, borrowed from French, literally means “nickname.” In many cases, sobriquet indicates playfulness or a nickname that is used in jest. This might mean a childhood pet name or a funny name used between friends. The word sobriquet entered English in the 1600s. moniker Any name you go by can be considered a moniker. This term simply means “a person’s name, especially a nickname or alias.” The origins of this word aren’t exactly clear. One possibility is that it’s associated with monk, as nuns and monks frequently change their names upon taking their vows.

    The Gold At Fort Knox Was Stolen From Americans
    by Tyler Durden
    Friday, Feb 28, 2025
    Authored by Ryan McMaken via The Mises Institute,

    In recent days, President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Senator Rand Paul, and some others have pressed for an audit of the US gold reserves, with a special focus on the gold at Fort Knox. This is perfectly reasonable given that the US gold reserves - which are the property of the US Treasury and not the Federal Reserve - have not undergone even a partial audit in at least forty years.



    Part of the reason for the audit is to discover if any of the gold has been stolen. The US Mint, the government agency that acts as custodian of the gold, has reported for many years that the official size of the gold reserve is 8,133.46 metric tons of gold. Since there has been no audit in so many decades, though, the Mint’s position is essentially “trust us, bro.” Trusting federal bureaucrats has never been a particularly wise policy, and this is why there are ongoing demands for some sort of transparent audit.

    If the total size of the US’s gold holdings is revealed to be a number below the official number, then it will just be the latest reminder that there a great many thieves and incompetents among the people running the US federal government. After all, if there is less gold than reported in the US gold reserves, it was presumably stolen at some point.

    This would be a fitting destiny for the US government’s gold since much of that was stolen to begin with. When I say “stolen,” I don’t even mean in the sense that “taxation is theft” and that the US bought the gold using tax dollars. In truth, the way the US Treasury acquired much of its gold hoard is even more underhanded than ordinary taxation.

    Rather, it is likely that most of the gold at Fort Knox, as with the US regime’s gold in general, is gold stolen from ordinary Americans as a part of Franklin Roosevelt’s efforts to end the gold standard and confiscate private gold holdings in the United States. That is, the US gold reserves are a legacy of the way the US government reneged on its promises to redeem US dollars in gold. Rather than pay out the gold that was owed to holders of US dollars, the US government hoarded it instead. That stolen gold is what the auditors will be counting if the US government ever allows an honest accounting of the Treasury’s gold reserves.

    Where Did the Gold at Fort Knox Come From?
    In his 1994 article for The Journal of Economic Education, economist William C. Wood writes that “the Fort Knox depository is now an artifact of gold standard days.“ He then adds, “The gold currently in Fort Knox came from the melting of Depression-era gold coins, from lend-lease arrangements in War II, and from government operations under the gold standard.”

    That reference to “Depression-era gold coins” is telling. Most of those gold coins were likely the coins confiscated from private owners by the US government following Roosevelt’s Executive Order 6102 which outlawed the private ownership of gold. Few Americans owned gold bars, of course, and the gold that was in non-institutional private hands was mostly gold coin. Roosevelt’s edict required that private citizens hand this gold over to the US government in exchange for what was effectively below-market prices. And what if you would rather not give up your property to the US government? Too bad.

    Moreover, private banks and the central bank held gold in the form of coins for dollar holders who, prior to confiscation, would occasionally present US dollars for redemption in gold. This is, in part, the gold in Fort Knox that that Wood classifies as gold held for “government operations under the gold standard.” After 1933, however, banks did not need to hold onto any gold coins for this purpose since Roosevelt’s effort to end the gold standard included a prohibition on banks paying out gold.

    So, these coins ceased to have an immediate market value among banks. Where did all these gold coins end up? Most ended up with the US Treasury after the Treasury seized the Federal Reserve’s gold in 1934.

    Evidence of this can be found in the nature of the gold that is now held at Fort Knox. Wood further explains that the gold there is not the type of gold usually found in gold bars used for international transactions: “The gold resulting from melting of coinage has considerably lower quality than the ‘fine’ or ‘good delivery’ gold commonly used in international trade. The majority of the gold in Fort Knox is the lower-quality coin gold.”

    The legacy of the US regime’s gold theft is not limited to the coins that happened to be in private hands in 1933, however. Much of the gold that is in the US gold reserves today is gold that would have been paid out to the private sector had the US government not reneged in its promises to pay war bonds in gold.

    The 1934 Default on Gold-Based Liberty Bonds
    Every time there is a debate over the so-called “debt ceiling,” various servants of the US regime like Jerome Powell or Janet Yellen claim that “the United States has never defaulted.” This is a lie.

    Arguably, it was a default, in the broad sense, when Roosevelt’s regime refused to make good on its obligations to dollar holders under the gold standard. The US also defaulted in a formal and legal sense when it refused to pay its World War I Liberty Bonds in gold as promised. Specifically, in 1934, the United States defaulted on the fourth Liberty Bond. The contracts between debtor and creditor on these bonds was clear. The bonds were to be payable in gold. This presented a big problem for the US, which was facing big debts into the 1930s after the First World War. As described by John Chamberlain:

    By the time Franklin Roosevelt entered office in 1933, the interest payments alone were draining the treasury of gold; and because the treasury had only $4.2 billion in gold it was obvious there would be no way to pay the principal when it became due in 1938, not to mention meet expenses and other debt obligations. These other debt obligations were substantial. Ever since the 1890s the Treasury had been gold short and had financed this deficit by making new bond issues to attract gold for paying the interest of previous issues. The result was that by 1933 the total debt was $22 billion and the amount of gold needed to pay even the interest on it was soon going to be insufficient.

    So how did the US government deal with this? Chamberlain notes “Roosevelt decided to default on the whole of the domestically-held debt by refusing to redeem in gold to Americans.”

    In other words, thanks to its profligate deficit spending, the US government was running out of gold by the early 1930s. So, the regime defaulted on the gold bonds. The gold that would have passed into private hands was hoarded by the federal government and declared off limits to the public. Much of that gold remains in the US gold reserves today.

    Defaulting on International Gold Obligations
    Not all of the US Treasury’s gold is stolen from ordinary Americans. Some is stolen from foreign governments. Another illustration of the dishonesty of the “we never defaulted” narrative is the fact that the US government defaulted in 1971 on its obligations to foreign government under the Bretton Woods system. That is, rather than pay what was owed to foreign governments, the US government once again decided to steal this gold and simply said “tough luck” to everyone with a legal claim to the gold. Or, as Treasury Secretary John Connally said at the time, the dollar “is our currency, but it’s your problem.”

    US Gold Reserves: A Legacy of Theft and Lies
    The gold reserve was never supposed to be a static, untouchable hoard of the US federal government, as it is now. It was supposed to be there for Americans and other users of dollars who traded in their dollars for gold. Gold was supposed to flow in and out. Then, the US government slammed the doors of the federal gold vaults shut and declared “the gold is all ours forever.”

    Like most everything else the US government “owns,” the gold in the US gold reserves is there due to many years of lies, gaslighting, and deception. The gold is there because the US regime defaulted on its debts and reneged on its promises to back dollars in gold.

    If a true auditing team is ever allowed to actually examine the US regime’s gold, it will be examining the evidence of crimes from long ago. The auditors will be counting the gold stolen from our ancestors to enrich the state and its friends.

    “Stew” vs. “Soup”: Simmer On The Differences Between Them

    Throw a bunch of ingredients in a pot, add liquid, heat it up, and what do you get? That’s actually a harder question to answer than you might think. Dishes made in this way can be labeled soup, stew, broth, bisque, or chowder.

    When it comes to food, people have strong preferences not only about taste but also about what things are called. In this article, we’ll get to the bottom of the bowl by explaining when and why a dish may be called a soup vs. a stew and breaking down the same distinctions between soup and broth, bisque, and chowder.

    ⚡ Quick summary

    Generally speaking, a dish is called soup when it’s primarily liquid-based. Stews are thicker and chunkier. But an especially thick and chunky soup could be called a stew. Broth is a liquid that serves as a main ingredient for many soups, and can be considered a soup when eaten by itself. Bisque and chowder are different types of soup.

    What is the difference between soup vs. stew?

    The main characteristic of the dish we call soup is that it’s primarily liquid-based. Regardless of what other ingredients it has in it (meat, fish, vegetables, whatever), they’re either submerged (or mostly submerged) in the liquid or are blended as part of it. The first example constitutes what’s often called a brothy soup. The second example is what we’d usually call a creamy soup (creamy as in texture—it may or may not have cream in it). But there are a lot of variations. And this is where the plot thickens.

    The dish we call stew may start the same way as a soup, and can include many of the same ingredients used in soup (meat, fish, vegetables, whatever). Stews are cooked by simmering or slow boiling, known as stewing. Obviously, the descriptions of soup and stew sound very similar.

    The popular distinction between these two foods is how “liquidy” or how thick they are: a dish called soup typically has more liquid in it than a stew does. Stews are generally thicker than soups, being made up primarily of larger, solid chunks of ingredients. In other words, stews are thicker and chunkier—and always have solid ingredients.

    Generally speaking, if there is so much liquid that the ingredients are fully submerged, it’s a soup. If the chunks dominate the dish, it’s a stew.

    Of course, a dish labeled as soup can be pretty thick and chunky. And, sometimes, cooking adjustments can turn one into another. A soup could become a stew if cooked long enough that most of the liquid boils off or is absorbed by the ingredients. Or you could add more liquid to a stew to make it soupier. The point at which a soup becomes a stew (or vice versa) can be endlessly debated.

    That’s because there is no exact measurement or technical rule separating the two. In many cases, both words could be reasonably applied to the same dish. The difference is often simply a matter of preference or opinion.

    broth vs. soup

    The essential ingredient in many soups is broth (or stock). Broth is traditionally made by boiling or simmering water with ingredients that will give it flavor, such as meat, fish, or vegetables (and often a combination of things).

    The primary flavor of a broth is often specified: chicken broth, beef broth, vegetable broth, etc. For example, chicken noodle soup is traditionally made with chicken and noodles in a chicken broth.

    But can broth be considered soup by itself? Yes, in fact, when broth is eaten—even without any added ingredients—it is typically considered soup. For example, a type of clear soup known as a consommé can be considered a broth if it is used as a base for the addition of other ingredients but a soup if it is eaten by itself.

    bisque vs. soup

    A bisque is a type of thick soup that uses cream as a main ingredient. The term bisque is typically applied to soups that have some kind of shellfish or vegetable as the key ingredient. Classic examples of bisques include lobster bisque, shrimp bisque, crab bisque, tomato bisque, and potato bisque.

    While most people agree that bisque is a type of soup, some may distinguish creamy bisques from non-creamy soups in the same way that others distinguish liquid-forward soups from chunky stews.

    chowder vs. soup

    Chowder is a type of thick soup whose most traditional and well-known forms contain clams, fish, or other seafood, often in a creamy, milk-based broth and also featuring potatoes, onions, tomatoes, or other vegetables. Different types of clam chowder are especially popular in the Northeast region of the US. Other examples of chowder include fish chowder, corn chowder, and potato chowder.

    Most chowders are usually considered a type of soup, but their creamy thickness can also result in them being labeled as a stew.

    Some people may take the hairsplitting even further and argue that chowder is its own unique thing in the same way that people distinguish soups from stews.

    #กรดไหลย้อนนำไปสู่โรคที่คาดไม่ถึงได้อย่างไร (สิ่งที่ไม่มีใครเคยบอกคุณและไม่ใช่ความลับสวรรค์) (4)

    ครั้งหนึ่งเมื่อโปรตีนตกไปถึงกระเพาะอาหารส่วนล่างและลำไส้เล็กส่วนบน..แต่เครื่องยนต์ของคุณไม่ทำการสตาร์ทเครื่อง น้ำมันจึงท่วมคาร์บูเรเตอร์และยากที่คุณจะได้มาซึ่งกรดอะมิโนตัวนี้...ตามมา..!!
    Arginine
    (Semi-essential amino acid)
    อาร์จินีนเป็นกรดอะมิโนชนิดหนึ่งที่มีผลเป็นอย่างมากต่อสุขภาพ ในทางโภชนาการจัดเป็นกรดอะมิโนกึ่งจำเป็น L-Arginine จำเป็นต่อร่างกายเนื่องจากทำหน้าที่กระตุ้นให้ร่างกายผลิตไนตริกออกไซด์ (Nitric Oxide) : ทำหน้าที่ขยายตัวของหลอดเลือดเมื่อได้รับคำสั่งในระบบไหลเวียน(circulatory system) เมื่อปราศจากไนตริกออกไซด์ (Nitric Oxide) หลอดเลือดก็จะเริ่มหดตัว การไหลเวียนของเลือดจะลดลงจากนั้นความดันโลหิตจะสูง
    ผู้ป่วยที่มีอาการแน่นหน้าอกส่วนใหญ่มักจะได้รับ nitroglycerin (ไนโตรกลีเซอริน):ยาขยายหลอดเลือดในกลุ่มไนเตรต อาร์จินีนให้ผลในทำนองเดียวกัน นอกจากนี้อาร์จินีนยังใช้ในการรักษาบาดแผล การแบ่งเซลล์ การแข็งตัวขององคชาต (penile erection):”ผู้เป็นโรคกรดไหลย้อนมักจะประสบปัญหานี้” การทำหน้าที่ของภูมิคุ้มกัน การหมุนเวียนเลือดส่วนปลาย (Peripheral Circulation) การปล่อยฮอร์โมนรวมทั้งกระตุ้นการหลั่งโกรทฮอร์โมน (Growth Hormone) ซึ่งเป็นฮอร์โมนสำคัญในการคงความเป็นหนุ่มเป็นสาว ช่วยชะลอความแก่และยังช่วยในการกำจัดแอมโมเนียที่เป็นพิษออกจากร่างกาย นอกจากนั้นยังเป็นตัวการสำคัญในการก่อให้เกิดโปรตีน myelin :เยื่อหุ้มแอกซอน (Axon) ของเซลล์ประสาท เป็นฉนวนไฟฟ้าช่วยทำให้กระแสประสาทผ่านไปได้เร็วขึ้นโดยเคลื่อนที่ด้วยความเร็วเฉลี่ย 120 เมตรต่อวินาที ซ่อมแซม DNA และป้องกันโรคเกี่ยวกับระบบภูมิต้านทาน
    ที่สำคัญไปกว่านั้นอาร์จินีนยังเป็นตัวการสร้าง Creatine : แหล่งพลังงานของกล้ามเนื้อและเซลล์ประสาทตามธรรมชาติ Creatine มักถูกใช้ในการเพิ่มความสามารถของกล้ามเนื้อ (ความปลอดภัยอยู่ที่ 3 กรัมต่อวัน) และใช้ในทางการแพทย์เพื่อรักษาโรคระบบประสาทสั่งงานกล้ามเนื้อผิดปกติ(neuromuscular diseases)
    อาร์จินีนมักถูกแนะนำให้ใช้ในผู้ป่วยโรคเบาหวานเพื่อช่วยให้หลอดเลือดขายตัวและเพิ่มการไหลเวียนของเลือดในบริเวณส่วนปลาย เหตุผลที่ถูกนำมาใช้ก็เพราะพวกเขาเพิ่มปริมาณไนตริกออกไซด์ (Nitric Oxide) ดังที่ได้กล่าวมาแล้ว
    อาร์จินีนบริสุทธิ์ละลายในน้ำได้ดีมากและมีสมบัติเป็นด่างที่มีประจุบวก...
    !!..แต่โปรดจำไว้ว่า..!!!
    อาร์จินีนจะเข้าสู่เซลล์ของเราไม่ได้และการผลิตไนตริกออกไซด์ (Nitric Oxide)จะไม่เกิดขึ้นถ้าปราศจาก...โซเดียม...
    แหล่งที่พบในอาหาร ได้แก่
    -เนื้อสัตว์ ส่วนที่เป็นเนื้อแดง เนื้อจากสัตว์ปีก อาหารทะเลเช่น ปลาทูน่า (1.7 g ต่อ 100 g)ปลาแซลมอน (1.2 g ต่อ 100 g) รวมทั้งกุ้ง ปู เป็นแหล่งที่ดีของโปรตีน และกรดอะมิโนทุกชนิดรวมถึงอาร์จินีนด้วย
    -ถั่วเมล็ดแห้ง เป็นแหล่งของอาร์จินีนในพืช ถั่วลิสงเป็นแหล่งที่ดีของอาร์จินีน โดย almonds (2.5 g ต่อ 100 g) walnuts (2.3 g ต่อ100 g) hazelnuts (2.2 g ต่อ 100 g) และเมล็ดมะม่วงหิมพานต์ (2.1 g ต่อ 100 g) นอกจากนั้นยังพบมากใน Brazil nuts, pistachios ,pecans และ งา
    -ผักโขม แม้ว่าผักทั่วไปจะไม่ใช่แหล่งที่ดีของอาร์จินีนแต่ผักโขมเป็นแหล่งที่ดีของอาร์จินีนโดยผักโขมมีอาร์จินีน 3.3 g ต่อ 100 g
    -เมล็ดพืชที่ไม่ขัดสี (Whole Grains) รวมทั้งผลิตภัณฑ์จากเมล็ดพืชที่ไม่ได้ขัดสี มีปริมาณอาร์จินีน 650 mg ต่อ 100 g.
    -ไข่ โดยเฉพาะไข่แดงเป็นแหล่งที่ดีของอาร์จินีน (1.10 g ต่อ100 g) ขณะที่ไข่ขาว มี 0.65 g ต่อ100 g
    พอมองภาพออกใช่ไหมครับว่า...ทำไมโรคต่าง ๆ จึงเกิดตามมามากมายและตามแก้ผลของการเกิดโรคใหม่ ๆ ราวกับว่าไม่มีจุดจบ

    Discover The Inner Labyrinth: A Gateway to Humanity’s Next Frontier

    The release of The Inner Labyrinth: Short Stories of Human Secrets marks not only the culmination of a profound storytelling endeavor but also the beginning of a conversation about the foundations of human knowledge that will shape the next 2,000–3,000 years. This collection of short stories doesn’t merely entertain—it challenges readers to navigate the intricate pathways of their own thoughts, emotions, and beliefs, laying the groundwork for the emerging discipline of Frontier Science as written in What is Life? by Unyanee Mooksombud and Ekarach Chandon.

    How does The Inner Labyrinth connect to the future of human knowledge?

    The stories invite readers to examine their internal labyrinths—constructed by societal norms, invisible cages of thought, and inherited paradigms like competition, individuality, and moral responsibility. By uncovering these invisible structures, the book equips readers to rethink their place in the universe, much like What is Life?: Beyond the Horizon redefined the boundaries of science by asking: What does it mean to live and grow within a universe governed by laws we are only beginning to understand?

    From Literature to Frontier Science

    While The Inner Labyrinth dissects the human condition through vivid narratives, Frontier Science provides a framework for transcending those conditions. Together, they form a continuum:
    The Inner Labyrinth reveals the "invisible cages" of our current understanding—competition, ignorance, and irresponsibility—and invites readers to explore a deeper truth about human existence.

    What is Life?: Beyond the Horizon expands this conversation to the universal scale, laying a scientific and philosophical foundation for answering humanity’s most profound questions.
    Both works converge on a single, essential idea: The key to understanding life, civilization, and progress lies not in conquest but in integration—of ourselves, our surroundings, and the systems that bind us.

    Why Now?

    We are at the brink of what may be humanity’s most transformative period. The knowledge we generate and the questions we dare to ask today will determine the trajectory of civilization for millennia. The Inner Labyrinth is not just a collection of stories—it is a mirror, reflecting our deepest fears and aspirations. It is the perfect entry point for anyone looking to engage with Frontier Science and lay the intellectual and emotional groundwork for the next era of human understanding.

    Ready to Begin?

    And today, The Inner Labyrinth: Short Stories of Human Secrets is ready to guide you on a journey into your own inner labyrinth. Start your exploration here: The Inner Labyrinth on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DRQZD58G

    For those curious to delve further into the concepts of Frontier Science, pick up What is Life?: Beyond the Horizon by Unyanee Mooksombud and Ekarach Chandon, available here: What is Life? on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DK5S9RB2

    This is more than a book—it is a call to action, an invitation to explore life’s biggest questions, and the start of a journey that could redefine what it means to be human.

    Did You Know You Can Write These 17 Words On The Calculator?

    Where were you the first time you learned you could spell words on a calculator? For most of us, the answer is an elementary or middle school math class. Maybe you had a friend who taught you the numbers to push to spell hello. Or, perhaps you were busy with homework and noticed the upside down numbers on your calculator looked like LOL. Before long you were probably trying all sorts of letter combinations trying to spell the longest (and silliest) possible words.

    The extra fun thing about calculator words is that they’re one type of ambigrams. An ambigram is a word, number, or other figure that can be read upside down. To create and read a calculator word, you have to enter the corresponding numbers backwards, then flip the calculator upside down. When you do this, a 7 becomes an L, a 3 becomes an E, and suddenly, it’s a whole new world of words to explore. Here’s a look at some of the most classic and entertaining calculator words you may have forgotten about. Please note: this post includes some anatomy slang.

    zoo

    Or should we say 200? Some words become “calculator words” simply because they’re easy to write, and this is certainly one of them. Most of us know zoos as parklike areas where wild animals are on public display, but the word zoo can also mean “a place, activity, or group marked by chaos or unrestrained behavior.” For example, a math class where every student is busy writing secret messages on their calculators. Hey, we’re just kidding.

    sizzle

    Multisyllable calculator words are a good way to dazzle everyone with your sizzling intellect. Case in point: if you type 372215 and flip it upside down, you get the word sizzle. This word originated in English as an imitation of the hissing sound sometimes heard during cooking, so it’s one calculator word that’s both an ambigram and an onomatopoeia.

    boob

    If you’ve ever typed 8008 or 8008135 into your calculator, you aren’t alone. Boob and boobies are the quintessential, silly calculator words many people first learn in middle or high school. Boob is, of course, slang for a breast (or a foolish person—like the kind that types boob on a calculator). Like many words that make middle schoolers giggle, these ones are probably frowned upon in most math classes. The less we say about this one, the better.

    logo

    Logotype isn’t possible to spell on a calculator, but its shortened form, logo, certainly is. Typing 0607 will give you this noun that means “a graphic representation or symbol of a company name, trademark, abbreviation, etc., often uniquely designed for ready recognition.” Come to think of it, a brand name spelled out on a calculator could make a pretty cool logo.

    obsess

    If you’re a little bit obsessed with calculator words (or the number five), just input 553580. That’s how you spell obsess, which means “to occupy or preoccupy the thoughts, feelings, or desires of (a person); beset, trouble, or haunt persistently or abnormally.” The word comes from the Latin obsessus, a past participle of obsidēre, meaning “to occupy, frequent, besiege.”

    LOL

    You can laugh out loud or you can laugh on a calculator. 707 should get the message across. LOL is a ’90s internet abbreviation for “laugh out loud” or “laughing out loud.” These days, it’s less popular than a simple haha or a laughing emoji, but on a calculator it’s the clearest (and only) way to let someone know you appreciate their sense of humor.

    eggshell

    The next word on the list is eggshell. That’s 77345663, for those trying to spell it at home. This word, which refers to the shell of a bird’s egg, a paint color, and even a type of paper, may not be the zaniest word you can think of, but if your goal is to type the longest calculator word, it is definitely a contender.

    giggle

    Sometimes a good calculator word can give you a serious case of the giggles. Other times, the word is literally giggle. You can create this word by punching in 376616. This word, which entered English in the 1500s, is likely related to the Dutch gigelen or the German gickeln. On a calculator, it’s ideal for people who really like the number six.

    hello

    Here’s another quintessential calculator word that’s easy to learn. 07734 spells hello. Interestingly, it wouldn’t be possible to spell hello on a calculator if not for its modern form. The word evolved from hallo, a variant of hollo, which is itself a variant of the earlier Middle French hola, equivalent to “ahoy there.” There’s no great way to make the letter A on a calculator, so it’s a good thing language evolves.

    hobbies

    It’s nice to have hobbies. Hobby comes from the Middle English hoby, which referred to a horse in the 13th century. From hoby evolved hobbyhorse, a children’s toy, which was later shortened to its modern form. Since the word hobby means “an activity or interest pursued for pleasure or relaxation,” practicing your calculator spelling could technically count as one. If you grab the nearest calculator and type the numbers 5318804, you’ll have both the word hobbies and a new hobby.

    LEGO

    If you input 0637 on a calculator, you’ll get the name of a beloved classic toy. We know typing LEGO may not be as fun as playing with the trademarked LEGO construction toys, but it’s still pretty interesting, especially if you know where the LEGO name comes from. LEGO is an abbreviation of the Danish leg godt, which means “to play well.”

    Ohio

    You can’t spell all of the US state names on a calculator, but you can spell Ohio. Just hit 0140. While you’re typing it, it might be fun to share a few fun Ohio facts, like the fact that its capital is Columbus, it’s abbreviated with the letters OH, and it’s bordered by five other states: Michigan, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Indiana.

    igloo

    It’s time for the ones and zeros to shine. Igloo can be spelled on a calculator by pressing 00761. First recorded in the mid-1800s, igloo comes from the Inuit word iglu, meaning “house.” In English, igloo doesn’t only describe dome-shaped structures. It’s also the word for “an excavation made by a seal in the snow over its breathing hole in the ice.”

    goggle

    Quick, what’s a six-letter calculator word that’s formed using at least three sixes? Goggle, or 376606, is the answer. Goggle is an interesting word because no one is 100% certain where it comes from. The word was first recorded in the 1300s and referred to movements of the eyes, such as bulging or rolling. It wasn’t until the 1700s that goggle began to refer to protective eye coverings.

    lilies

    The plural of lily is lilies, our next fun calculator word. Note that there is only one L in the middle of the word, so the correct way to input it on the calculator is 531717. A lily is, of course, a type of flowering plant, or it may refer to the ​​fleur-de-lis, especially as the symbol of France. It’s one of the only flower names able to be spelled using a calculator.

    boss

    Are you a 5508? That spells boss. You may be a boss in the literal sense, like a manager, or you might be a boss in the slang sense, which means “first-rate.” Believe it or not, the slang sense of the word isn’t just something the kids are saying. The first recorded use of boss to mean “excellent” occurred in the 1880s.

    shoes

    It’s almost time to hit the road, but not before we get to our final word: shoes. Footwear has certainly evolved since the ’90s and ’00s, when many of us were learning calculator words for the first time, but this five-letter word never goes out of style. In fact, shoe was first recorded in English before the year 900. All you need to do to spell this one is to hit 53045.

    Did You Know You Can Write These 17 Words On The Calculator? Where were you the first time you learned you could spell words on a calculator? For most of us, the answer is an elementary or middle school math class. Maybe you had a friend who taught you the numbers to push to spell hello. Or, perhaps you were busy with homework and noticed the upside down numbers on your calculator looked like LOL. Before long you were probably trying all sorts of letter combinations trying to spell the longest (and silliest) possible words. The extra fun thing about calculator words is that they’re one type of ambigrams. An ambigram is a word, number, or other figure that can be read upside down. To create and read a calculator word, you have to enter the corresponding numbers backwards, then flip the calculator upside down. When you do this, a 7 becomes an L, a 3 becomes an E, and suddenly, it’s a whole new world of words to explore. Here’s a look at some of the most classic and entertaining calculator words you may have forgotten about. Please note: this post includes some anatomy slang. zoo Or should we say 200? Some words become “calculator words” simply because they’re easy to write, and this is certainly one of them. Most of us know zoos as parklike areas where wild animals are on public display, but the word zoo can also mean “a place, activity, or group marked by chaos or unrestrained behavior.” For example, a math class where every student is busy writing secret messages on their calculators. Hey, we’re just kidding. sizzle Multisyllable calculator words are a good way to dazzle everyone with your sizzling intellect. Case in point: if you type 372215 and flip it upside down, you get the word sizzle. This word originated in English as an imitation of the hissing sound sometimes heard during cooking, so it’s one calculator word that’s both an ambigram and an onomatopoeia. boob If you’ve ever typed 8008 or 8008135 into your calculator, you aren’t alone. Boob and boobies are the quintessential, silly calculator words many people first learn in middle or high school. Boob is, of course, slang for a breast (or a foolish person—like the kind that types boob on a calculator). Like many words that make middle schoolers giggle, these ones are probably frowned upon in most math classes. The less we say about this one, the better. logo Logotype isn’t possible to spell on a calculator, but its shortened form, logo, certainly is. Typing 0607 will give you this noun that means “a graphic representation or symbol of a company name, trademark, abbreviation, etc., often uniquely designed for ready recognition.” Come to think of it, a brand name spelled out on a calculator could make a pretty cool logo. obsess If you’re a little bit obsessed with calculator words (or the number five), just input 553580. That’s how you spell obsess, which means “to occupy or preoccupy the thoughts, feelings, or desires of (a person); beset, trouble, or haunt persistently or abnormally.” The word comes from the Latin obsessus, a past participle of obsidēre, meaning “to occupy, frequent, besiege.” LOL You can laugh out loud or you can laugh on a calculator. 707 should get the message across. LOL is a ’90s internet abbreviation for “laugh out loud” or “laughing out loud.” These days, it’s less popular than a simple haha or a laughing emoji, but on a calculator it’s the clearest (and only) way to let someone know you appreciate their sense of humor. eggshell The next word on the list is eggshell. That’s 77345663, for those trying to spell it at home. This word, which refers to the shell of a bird’s egg, a paint color, and even a type of paper, may not be the zaniest word you can think of, but if your goal is to type the longest calculator word, it is definitely a contender. giggle Sometimes a good calculator word can give you a serious case of the giggles. Other times, the word is literally giggle. You can create this word by punching in 376616. This word, which entered English in the 1500s, is likely related to the Dutch gigelen or the German gickeln. On a calculator, it’s ideal for people who really like the number six. hello Here’s another quintessential calculator word that’s easy to learn. 07734 spells hello.

    Fill Your Pot Of Gold With 18 Brilliant Words For St. Patrick’s Day

    Every March, people around the world celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with parades, street parties, festivals, sing-alongs, arts exhibitions, and yes, green rivers (such as the Chicago River, dyed green with what’s essentially food coloring). What began as a feast day for the patron saint of Ireland has evolved into a worldwide celebration of Irish culture and heritage—and it’s hard to resist the temptation to look for a lucky four-leaf clover come St. Patrick’s Day.

    But there’s more to the day and the culture of Ireland than the color green or traditional celebrations. In honor of this special holiday, here are 18 interesting words to help you learn more about Irish history, culture, and the roots of St. Patrick’s Day.

    blarney

    Have you heard the one about the Blarney stone? Blarney means “flattering or wheedling talk; cajolery.” It’s often applied to insincere flattery that’s used to gain favor. The word, which was first recorded in English in the late 1700s, comes from the centuries old legend of the Blarney stone. It’s said that anyone who kisses the stone in Blarney Castle near Cork, Ireland, is given the gift of flattery and eloquence.

    “Erin go Bragh”

    Erin go Bragh is a popular expression of loyalty to, or affection for, Ireland, its people, and its culture. The phrase, which means “Ireland forever,” is an Anglicization of Éire go Brách, which translates to “Ireland till the end of time.” The phrase may have first come to use during the Irish Rebellion of 1798 as a rallying cry for Irish independence. In the time since, it’s been used in music, sports, and during celebrations like St. Patrick’s Day to celebrate Irish pride and culture.

    leprechaun

    Leprechauns originated in Irish folklore, but they’ve become a famous symbol all over the world. A leprechaun is a dwarf or sprite, often depicted as “a little old man who will reveal the location of a hidden crock of gold to anyone who catches him.” Though leprechauns are usually seen as joyful or mischievous, some representations of leprechauns feature offensive stereotypes that should be avoided. For example, the University of Notre Dame’s “fighting Irish” leprechaun has been voted one of the most offensive mascots in US sports.

    banshee

    Leprechauns aren’t the only well-known figures from folklore. In Irish legend, a banshee is “a spirit in the form of a wailing woman who appears to or is heard by members of a family as a sign that one of them is about to die.” The word comes from the Irish Gaelic bean sídh, which translates to “woman of the fairy mound.” In legends, banshees most often appear at night, and some believe they can only be seen by those of Irish descent.

    Saint Patrick

    Although the origin of St. Patrick’s Day is a mix of fact and legend, Saint Patrick was a real person. The day commemorates the feast of Saint Patrick, a ​​British-born missionary and bishop who became the patron saint of Ireland. Saint Patrick is believed to have been born Maewyn Succat, and later chose the Latin name Patricius, or Patrick in English and Pádraig in Irish. He is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland and famously believed to have used the shamrock as a metaphor for the Holy Trinity.

    Emerald Isle

    Ireland is sometimes called the Emerald Isle. This poetic nickname for Ireland stems from the lush, green land and rolling hills that make up many parts of the country. Emerald green is a “clear, deep green color” most often associated with the gem of the same name. Green is strongly associated with Ireland not only because of the landscape and symbols like the shamrock, but also because of its use among people fighting for Irish independence throughout history.

    luck

    If you’ve ever searched for a four leaf clover, then you know a little something about the supposed link between Irish culture and luck. Luck is “the force that seems to operate for good or ill in a person’s life,” and many people believe Irish symbols, particularly those seen on St. Patrick’s Day, have a special ability to attract good luck. Maybe you’ve heard the phrase the luck of the Irish? This phrase is considered a cliché and is mostly only used in the US, but it’s an example of just how common it is to think Irish culture is imbued with potent powers of good luck. (Need a few more serendipitous ways to say lucky?)

    Gaelic

    You’ll notice many of the words on this list have Gaelic roots. Gaelic isn’t only one language. The term encompasses Celtic languages that include the speech of ancient Ireland and more modern dialects that have developed from it, especially Irish, Manx, and Scottish Gaelic. Though the term Irish Gaelic is sometimes used outside of Ireland, Irish is made up of distinct dialects that vary in vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar, and the words Gaelic and Irish shouldn’t be used interchangeably.

    shamrock

    Shamrocks are among the most famous symbols of St. Patrick’s Day. ​​The word shamrock can describe a number of trifoliate, or three-leafed, plants but especially “a small, yellow-flowered clover: the national emblem of Ireland.” Shamrock comes from the Irish Gaelic seamrōg, or “clover.” Saint Patrick’s close association with Ireland and legendary use of the shamrock as a symbol for Christianity helped make it a symbol of Irish culture. These days, shamrocks are so popular there is even a Shamrock emoji.

    donnybrook

    In English, donnybrook means ​​”an inordinately wild fight or contentious dispute; brawl; free-for-all.” It comes from Donnybrook Fair, a traditional fair that was held in Donnybrook, county Dublin, Ireland, until 1855. The fair featured livestock and produce and later evolved into a carnival. It was ultimately shut down due to its reputation for brawls and raucous behavior. The word donnybrook entered English in the mid-1800s. Fun fact: the Donnybrook Fair grounds are now the Donnybrook Rugby Ground.

    bodhran

    Music is a big part of many St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, and some of it includes the bodhran. A bodhran is “a handheld, shallow Irish drum with a single goatskin head, played with a stick.” It’s often used in traditional Celtic folk music, and it’s known for its deep, distinct sound. Bodhran is borrowed in English from the Irish bodhrán, which derives from the middle Irish bodar, meaning “deafening, deaf.”

    Celtic

    The Celts were once the largest group in ancient Europe, and their influence on the language and culture remains prominent today, especially in Ireland. Celtic is a term for the family of languages that includes Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Welsh, and Breton. More broadly, Celtic refers to anything “of the Celts or their language.”

    limerick

    A limerick is “a kind of humorous verse of five lines.” It’s also a county in Ireland, and the two share an interesting link. The first known use of limerick referring to the poem comes from the late 1800s, and the word is thought to have originated as a part of a party game. People playing the game took turns making up nonsense verses, then everyone would sing the refrain: “Will you come up to Limerick?” The refrain referenced Limerick, the place, but later came to represent the poems themselves.

    clover

    It’s said that if you find a four-leaf clover, it will bring you good luck. So, is a clover the same thing as a shamrock? It’s complicated. Clover and shamrock are both used to describe plants from similar species. While shamrock derives from an Irish word, clover has roots in Old English. Clovers may have two, three, four, or more leaves, while the traditional shamrock that’s used as a symbol of Ireland has three. In other words, shamrocks are a type of clover, but not every clover is a shamrock.

    balbriggan

    There are many things that take their names from places in Ireland. Balbriggan is one. In addition to being a city in Ireland, balbriggan is “a plain-knit cotton fabric, used especially in hosiery and underwear.” The fabric was first made in the town of the same name, and the word has been in use in English since the mid-1800s.

    shillelagh

    A shillelagh is a cudgel, or club, traditionally made of blackthorn or oak, and it’s become a recognizable symbol of Irish culture in some St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. The name shillelagh comes from the Irish Síol Éiligh, the name of a town in County Wicklow, Ireland. The adjoining forest once provided the wood for the clubs, which are now sometimes carried in parades or sold as souvenirs.

    brogue

    Let’s hear it for the brogue. A brogue is “an Irish accent in the pronunciation of English.” Believe it or not, this term may be related to shoes. The word brogue can also refer to “a coarse, usually untanned leather shoe once worn in Ireland and Scotland.” It’s thought that brogue in reference to accents may be a special use of the word; it was first recorded in English in the early 1700s.

    rainbow

    Rainbows are often associated with Ireland and St. Patrick’s Day. Some legends say leprechauns leave gold at the ends of rainbows. There may also be a scientific explanation for Ireland’s close association with rainbows. A rainbow is an “arc of prismatic colors appearing in the heavens opposite the sun and caused by the refraction and reflection of the sun’s rays in drops of rain.” Because of its rainy climate and latitude, Ireland may actually have better conditions for the formation of frequent rainbows than other places.

While shamrock derives from an Irish word, clover has roots in Old English. Clovers may have two, three, four, or more leaves, while the traditional shamrock that’s used as a symbol of Ireland has three. In other words, shamrocks are a type of clover, but not every clover is a shamrock. balbriggan There are many things that take their names from places in Ireland. Balbriggan is one. In addition to being a city in Ireland, balbriggan is “a plain-knit cotton fabric, used especially in hosiery and underwear.” The fabric was first made in the town of the same name, and the word has been in use in English since the mid-1800s. shillelagh A shillelagh is a cudgel, or club, traditionally made of blackthorn or oak, and it’s become a recognizable symbol of Irish culture in some St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. The name shillelagh comes from the Irish Síol Éiligh, the name of a town in County Wicklow, Ireland. The adjoining forest once provided the wood for the clubs, which are now sometimes carried in parades or sold as souvenirs. brogue Let’s hear it for the brogue. A brogue is “an Irish accent in the pronunciation of English.” Believe it or not, this term may be related to shoes. The word brogue can also refer to “a coarse, usually untanned leather shoe once worn in Ireland and Scotland.” It’s thought that brogue in reference to accents may be a special use of the word; it was first recorded in English in the early 1700s. rainbow Rainbows are often associated with Ireland and St. Patrick’s Day. Some legends say leprechauns leave gold at the ends of rainbows. There may also be a scientific explanation for Ireland’s close association with rainbows. A rainbow is an “arc of prismatic colors appearing in the heavens opposite the sun and caused by the refraction and reflection of the sun’s rays in drops of rain.” Because of its rainy climate and latitude, Ireland may actually have better conditions for the formation of frequent rainbows than other places.

    What Are The 4 Types Of Brackets?

    When considering punctuation marks, there are four pairs of marks that may be referred to as a type of bracket. They are parentheses, square brackets, curly brackets, and angle brackets. Of these four, parentheses are by far the most commonly used and are the punctuation marks that most writers are likely most familiar with. Although you may not get many chances yourself to bust out a pair of curly brackets or angle brackets, it doesn’t hurt to learn what they are typically used for so they don’t catch you by surprise.

    Types of brackets

    Parentheses ()

    Let’s look at each of the four different types of brackets, moving from the pair you are most likely to see to the pair you will almost never see (in writing, at least).

    Despite being the most commonly used of the four types of brackets, parentheses are still less common than other punctuation marks in formal writing. Most writers will tend to use them sparingly but effectively.

    Parentheses have a lot of different uses. One particularly common use is to insert additional but unessential information, such as a writer’s commentary, into a sentence.

    Last year, the first pitch was thrown by Santa Claus (yes, really).
    Bananas are good for you (and tasty, too).
    Some other information that might be contained within parentheses includes sources, references, abbreviations, acronyms, telephone area codes, and lifespans.

    Parentheses examples

    The owners loved dressing their dogs up in funny outfits. (The dogs were much less enthusiastic about it.)
    The cat population doubled over the past 10 years. (Purrcy and Kitchins, 2005)
    The shuttle was built by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
    Edward I of England (1239–1307) was called “Edward Longshanks.”


    Square brackets []

    Square brackets, often just called brackets in American English, are typically only used with quotations in formal writing. Square brackets are used to indicate to a reader that the writer added their own words to a quote, added additional context, or otherwise made a change to a quote that wasn’t originally there. The term sic is also often used in a pair of square brackets to indicate that a quote originally had a grammatical error in it, and the writer didn’t make a mistake when reprinting it.

    Square bracket examples

    The following examples show the different ways that square brackets are typically used with quotations.

    The president said, “He [the Polish ambassador] is a tough negotiator, but I’m confident we will reach an agreement that is best for both countries.”
    The legendary pop singer said that “[she] would come back [to Miami] every summer if [she] could.”
    My textbook says, “The explorers traveled down the Mississipi [sic] River.”


    Curly brackets {}

    Curly brackets, also known as braces or curly braces, are rarely used in formal writing and are more common in other fields such as science, math, and computing. Some style guides will allow them to be used for one specific purpose: grouping together a set.

    The pastries {cakes, pies, croissants, danishes} looked delicious.
    Informally, curly brackets may also be used to attempt to avoid confusion if a writer is using multiple sets of brackets in the same sentence.

    Clifford (a {very, very} big dog) stomped his way down the street.
    Both of these uses, though, are rare and many style guides and grammar resources may not have any formal use for curly brackets in writing. It is entirely possible that you may never read anything that uses curly brackets.

    Curly bracket examples

    The following examples show how curly brackets might be used. Keep in mind that these sentences may not be considered appropriate in formal writing.

    The circus animals {lions, tigers, elephants, monkeys} were very well trained.
    Madame Mysteria (who I {sadly} never met) was a legendary fortune teller.


    Angle brackets <>

    Angle brackets have no formal use in writing, at least in English. In other languages, double sets of angle brackets are sometimes used in place of quotation marks. Like curly brackets, you are much more likely to see angle brackets used in other fields, such as math and computing.

    Informally, angle brackets might be used in place of parentheses to insert asides or you might see them used to introduce a website in an older piece of writing.

    Angle bracket examples

    The following examples show how angle brackets might be used in writing. These examples would typically not be considered appropriate in formal writing.

    The car was both very fast and very pink. << Much too pink if you ask me >>

    ❗️ประธานาธิบดี วลาดิมีร์ ปูติน เปิดเผยรายละเอียดใหม่เกี่ยวกับปฏิบัติการขีปนาวุธโอเรชนิกของรัสเซีย:

    🔸หัวรบของขีปนาวุธมีอุณหภูมิสูงถึง ๔,๐๐๐ องศาเซลเซียส, ทำให้มีพลังทำลายล้างสูง

    🔸ทุกสิ่งในโซนระเบิดจะถูกสลายเป็นอนุภาคพื้นฐาน, ซึ่งโดยพื้นฐานแล้วจะเปลี่ยนให้กลายเป็นฝุ่น

    🔸โอเรชนิกสามารถโจมตีได้แม้กระทั่งโครงสร้างที่ได้รับการป้องกันอย่างดี, โครงสร้างที่ฝังลึก, ทำให้มีประสิทธิภาพในการโจมตีพื้นที่ที่มีป้อมปราการ

    🔸ถึงแม้จะไม่ใช่อาวุธทำลายล้างสูง, แต่พลังของมันยังสามารถทำลายล้างได้อย่างรุนแรงโดยไม่ต้องใช้ประจุนิวเคลียร์

    🔸ขีปนาวุธนี้ได้รับการออกแบบมาเพื่อโจมตีอย่างแม่นยำอย่างยิ่ง, เพื่อให้มั่นใจว่าเป้าหมายที่มีค่าสูงจะถูกโจมตีด้วยความแม่นยำถึงตาย
    .
    ❗️PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN REVEALED NEW DETAILS ABOUT THE OPERATION OF RUSSIA'S ORESHNIK MISSILE:

    🔸The missile's warhead reaches a temperature of 4,000 degrees Celsius, making it highly destructive.

    🔸Anything in the blast zone is broken down into elementary particles, essentially turning it into dust.

    🔸The Oreshnik can target even well-protected, deeply buried structures, making it effective against fortified sites.

    🔸While not a weapon of mass destruction, its power is still capable of causing massive destruction without a nuclear charge.

    🔸The missile is designed for extremely precise strikes, ensuring high-value targets are hit with deadly accuracy.
