Doom Metal Alchemist Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 a- is a prefix often used to mean "without", I think would be the most correct definition, without looking it up. Atheism, asexuality, amoral, atonal, etc. So what the hell is with the word "acorn"? "Without corn"? Is that what's behind that object's name? "Hey, what is that thing?" "I don't know, but one thing I know is it has no corn. We should call it an acorn." Yes I know I could look up the origin of the term, but where is the fun in that?

Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 Yet another reason to try not to come across a vampire. No need to bring along any change when you go swimming in atoll. And if your head is atop your body, try not to bend over or your brains might spill out.

Expand Old English æcern "nut, mast of trees, acorn," a common Germanic word (cognates: Old Norse akarn, Dutch aker, Low German ecker "acorn," German Ecker, Gothic akran "fruit"), originally the mast of any forest tree. It is by most sources said to be related (via notion of "fruit of the open or unenclosed land") to the source of Old English æcer "open land," Gothic akrs "field," Old French aigrun "fruits and vegetables" (from Frankish or some other Germanic source); see acre. The sense was gradually restricted in Low German, Scandinavian, and English to the most important of the forest produce for feeding swine: the mast of the oak tree. The regular modern form would be *akern; the current spelling emerged 15c.-16c. by folk etymology association with oak (Old English ac) and corn (n.1), neither of which has anything to do with it. Acorn squash is attested by 1937. 2

Expand I don't seem to have issues with photosensitive stuff and the like, they gave me a test where they flashed varying frequencies of strobe at me and it was fine. My issue is a tiny bit of scar tissue in the brain that just doesn't trip quite right. On the one hand, yay I'm fine with strobes and video games. On the other hand- what triggers it? Fuck if I know. Some times I just wake up in the hospital. Thankfully it's managed and I haven't seized in a while.
