I live to learn.

Listening to: Giving you up
kylie minogue

The importance of having a good grasp of the english language, and having never to stop learning? Imperative. I learnt a new word the day before.

Fucktard.

The first half of the word- fuck.
Pronunciation: 'f&k
Function: verb
Etymology: akin to Dutch fokken to breed (cattle),
Swedish dialect fokka to copulate

The second half stems from the word retard.
Pronunciation: ri-'tärd
Function: verb
Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French or Latin;
Middle French retarder,
from Latin retardare,
from re- + tardus slow

Ahh..The beauty of a rounded education.
