Wait so "sophomoric" doesn't mean "like somebody who is in their next to last year in school"?

Like “preposterous.” Pre-before, and post-after, which is itself absurd. 🧐

In Japanese it's "mujun" (矛盾) meaning "pike" & "shield" "Mujun suru" means to contradict as in info that's contradictory

it's funny that oxygen means acid generating, since the definition of an acid is a hydrogen ion donator, it doesn't have to have oxygen in it

Doesn’t the word “Moro” in Spanish also mean “moor” in English as in the group of people who once inhabited Spain?

like /sa'gi na'hor/ in Hebrew, meaning "a seeing blind man", referring to a practice of censoring profanity by replacing it with antonyms
