Usucaption - in civil law, the acquisition of property by continuous and undisputed possession of it for a certain term. Not surprisingly, given its use by lawyers, it comes from Latin; usus (use) and capio (to take). 8-|

Iambic pentameter - a rhythm of stressed and unstressed syllables in lines of poetry or verse, much used by a certain William Shakespeare, i.e.

"O that this too too solid flesh would melt" (Hamlet)

"But soft! what light through yonder window breaks?" (Romeo and Juliet)

"Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown" (Richard III)

"If music be the food of love, play on" (Twelfth Night)

Hypothesis - an idea that has not yet been proved to be true or correct. My attitude to "AGW" and the associated "carbon obsession" propagated by many as if it were established fact. The eagerness of politicians to seize the opportunity to impose ever-more "carbon taxes" only feeds my scepticism ... :-?

Adorable - lovable or charming. An adjective that very few men ever use. Rather odd, that. Anyone know why? /:)

LETHARGIC quite a pleasant state to be in, just wanting to be left alone.
