New Words in your Life

[inner_radius]

Guys ...
Its CAT's Game we are gonna play !
How about learning some new words in a fun way.

Say , we could share our daily experience in a one-liner , but should contain a hard-Vocab ( a very expressive term ) in it ! In this way, we can have fun , express ourselves and also learn at the same time !
Its cui bono ? - all of us !
Inner Radius !

Cui-bono , is a french Word. It means who benefits from it , or wats the need of it ! Its used in Casablanca by the Humprey Bogart's mistress against the general in the Cafe. Anywayz... guys watch the movie Casablance..its a the best romantic movie ever made.... !!

Hi Dear,

It seems to be a piquant start. One word per diem is cool.

Happy Punning !!

Cheers

HI Abhi...
deja vu (I first heard the word in Matrix!) means the experience of thinking that a new situation had occurred before
And it's et al and not et all....meaning 'and others'. Basically, used when referring to a number of people...
Keep firing more new words!

acta est fabula

sounds more like a case of bangla gone haywire

alea jacta est -> alea goes east

acta est fabula -> the east is simply fabulous !!

suzyq

ok with me..

but i was just thinking if all of us could contribute new words/phrases everyday, it would really help to build up on vocab...and beat all word lists..

wat u say??
