Two New Words

[MULTIZ321]

I learned two new words today -

Prelapsarian:
- Adjective
1. Theol. occuring before the Fall: the prelapsarian innocence of Eden.

2. Characteristic of or pertaining to any innocent or carefree period: the prelapsarian youth


The other word is Mercator as in Mercator Projection.

The Mercator projection is a cylindrical map projection presented by the Flemish geographer and cartographer Geradus Mercator, in 1569. It became the standard map projection for nautical purposes because of its ability to represent lines of constant course, known as rhumb lines or loxodromes, as straight segments.

From Wikipedia.org: Mercator Projection

- Mercator projection of the world between 82°S and 82°N.

I knew about Merkator. But not the other.

My dog, Brianna, is pretty up to date. She understands chillax. When she barks at the door and I know who it is, I tell her to chillax while I am opening the door., When I say, "Brianna, Chillax," she stops barking and does not advance on the door. Good doggie

I thought my foster kitty knew the words "Cat Treats!" because he races in when I say that......but just for laughs I said "Toaster Oven!" in the same tone of voice, and he raced in for that too

All I really have to do is shake the bag, or sometimes chip or pretzel bags with just the right crinkle.
