some words are too evil to be spoken aloud in everyday life, and could not live not in conversational vocabulary.
were it not for the evil that men do and those who share with us their secrets, such words would be lost forever.
words like abacinate.
if it wasnt for the diligent work of luminaries of the genre of heavy metal, i would have no idea that it means 'to blind (a person) by placing red-hot pokers, or metal basins, in front of the eyes'(note that the pokers are not inserted into the eyes, but are instead held close enough to melt the eyeball so far that it pops). the word comes from the medieval latin for 'basin', i am told.
why would i need this word?
well, if i was in slayer, of course.
if i was in slayer, and i wanted to wrote a song about the most infamous of nazi scientists, josef mengele.
the song is angel of death, as you may have guessed.
the lyrics describe some particularly unpleasant shit, but little much more unpleasant than the slow destruction of someone's vision by heat.
i dont know when i will ever use this word, but i love that if i need to, i will be ready.
what words have you discovered only through the experience of Man's most Manly music known to Man? what concepts would be alien to you without those albums with the Blood and the Steel on the covers? |
