The Frying Pan

Происходит от англ. реа-jасkеt «куртка, короткое пальто» от ср.-нидерл. рi^е «байковая куртка». Ср.: народн. пинжа́к, спинжа́к — под влиянием слова спина́

SAJ14SAJ

Blab

rumtscho

OK, it is a funny etimology

"spina" is the spine

so it was called "spin-jak"

SAJ14SAJ

Blarney

and then got corrupted, presumably before orthography got standardized.

Cerberus

So...the jacket has some connection with one's spine?

> При- (Bulgarian), tru- (English), ces- (French).

SAJ14SAJ

Blanket

Cerberus

@SAJ14SAJ I think you should be able to participate in this one.

rumtscho

from spin-jak (j pronounced like in Zhirinovski) through pin-jak (j still a ж), into pindjak (j pronounced like in English Jacket)

Cerberus

And no Googling or using external sources!

SAJ14SAJ

1:20 AM

Dos enchilada de carne con salsa verde por favor

Cerberus

Go!

rumtscho

Sadly, the Bulgarian part tells me nothing :(

It is the most common prefix in the language.

Cerberus

Is it very common/nondescript?

Ah, I was afraid it might be like prae-.

rumtscho

I don't think it's "truth"

Cerberus

Well, then you guys are almost even.

SAJ14SAJ

1:21 AM

trust

trump

trunk

true

Cerberus

@SAJ14SAJ I will give you a hint: there is a Latinate synonym in English that greatly resembles the French word.

rumtscho

truck? but this is cemion in french, not cesion

SAJ14SAJ

Ca ne marche rien

Cerberus

You guys can do this.

The English synonym differs from the French 3 letters by only a single letter.

rumtscho

trubadour? but this shouldn't have a second French word

SAJ14SAJ

1:23 AM

@rumtscho Nice

truffle

rumtscho

truce

with cease-fire in French and primirie in Bulgarian

Cerberus

Ding!!

rumtscho

actually, I mean cease-fire as the English version of the French

Cerberus

The French is cessez-le-feu.

"Cease the fire!"

SAJ14SAJ

End the craziness?

:-)

Cerberus

1:24 AM

I think this one was just hard enough, wasn't it?

SAJ14SAJ

Meow Miaow Myow

Cerberus

@SAJ14SAJ The thing is, I wanted to give cea- as an English synonym, but that would have been too easy for you.

rumtscho

tab/ran/ein

French/English/German, respectively

Cerberus

Ah.

Ein- is very common...

SAJ14SAJ

rant

Cerberus

1:26 AM

Ransack, ransom...

SAJ14SAJ

rank

randy

ramp

rumtscho

@SAJ14SAJ I will probably have to count this

I meant "ranking"

Cerberus

Table, tableau, tabernacle, taboo, tab...

Oh?

rumtscho

yes, it happens to be another meaning of "table" in French

Cerberus

I still have no idea about the French or the German hehe.

OK.

rumtscho

1:27 AM

German would be Einordnung

Cerberus

I see.

Ranking = table, that one I can see.

rumtscho

Ranking is recognized too, and maybe a bit more common, but I wanted to give you one more hint instead of repeating.

Cerberus

But rank would be like position, place.

Yeah the thing is, I know Ordnung, but not Einordnung.

SAJ14SAJ

Ranking tends to be used in only one context any more, "George Idiot, the ranking member of the House Screw the People Committee."

Cerberus

Hal/sto/arr.

SAJ14SAJ

1:29 AM

stop

rumtscho

@Cerberus It is different from "ordnung". "Ordnung" means that everything is placed correctly. It is "order" as in opposite of chaos.

SAJ14SAJ

halt

arret

rumtscho

@Cerberus stop

Cerberus

@SAJ14SAJ Ding!!

Hehe.

rumtscho

I had it too :)

Cerberus

1:30 AM

OK OK.

SAJ14SAJ

:-)

rumtscho

"Einordnung" is "order", but as in "sequence"

SAJ14SAJ

My mad typing skills carried the day.

rumtscho

lea/bla/feu

Cerberus

@rumtscho Sure, I have no doubt it has a different meaning. I just didn't know the other word.

SAJ14SAJ

1:30 AM

We did bla- before.

leaf

Cerberus

Are we allowed to know which is which language?

SAJ14SAJ

feullite

rumtscho

@SAJ14SAJ I had to finish the previous line and start a new one

Cerberus

Leaf/Blatt/Feuille.

rumtscho

@Cerberus you would have been, if Saj hand't guessed before I wrote it

Cerberus

1:31 AM

Heh.

OK.

I guess we didn't need your stupid language-names muwaha!

SAJ14SAJ

If you all dont keep picking one of the 100 or so words I remember in French, you would have a huge advantage.

rumtscho

@SAJ14SAJ I guess I could dig out the French translation of wormwood, but do you think anyone will be able to guess it?

SAJ14SAJ

Probably not.

rumtscho

oh, lol, I would have been

vermouth

or, in the worst case, absinthe

SAJ14SAJ

Not vermouth..... wormwood is used to make .... darn what is that stuff called.... absinthe

Cerberus

1:33 AM

Hor/che/кон. This one will be extremely easy for Rummy, so don't say it when you know the answer.

SAJ14SAJ

Horse chevalle?

rumtscho

yes, I know it

Cerberus

Ding!

Cheval.

rumtscho

kor/bas/pan

SAJ14SAJ

basket

rumtscho

1:34 AM

@SAJ14SAJ also a word you remembered in French?

Cerberus

Korf/basket/panne-something?

SAJ14SAJ

No, I juist guessed that it would be a cooking term, and pan made me think of pain which leads to bread. which leads to basket.

Cerberus

I really had to think even after you said basket...

rumtscho

@SAJ14SAJ I am not doing cooking terms all the time

SAJ14SAJ

That was all I had.

rumtscho

1:36 AM

korb/basket/panier

Ok, now a hard one after all the instant guesses

Cerberus

Ah, yes, panier. I might or might not have known that word passively.

rumtscho

fra/spr/bri

Cerberus

Dutch korf = German Korb.

rumtscho

it's not a noun

SAJ14SAJ

spring

Cerberus

1:36 AM

Oh, dear...

SAJ14SAJ

spr is very productive in english.

rumtscho

@Cerberus I think it is used in English for bicycle baskets

Cerberus

Frase, Spruch, bri...

@rumtscho Oh, I had no idea...

rumtscho

OK, to make it easier, the languages: fra is French, spr is German, bri is English

SAJ14SAJ

@rumtscho technically side bags for a horse, then extrapolated to bicycles.

Cerberus

1:37 AM

Wait, no nouns.

SAJ14SAJ

brindle

Cerberus

Oh...

SAJ14SAJ

bridle

brie

rumtscho

@SAJ14SAJ not a noun

Cerberus

Fraser, sprechen, bri....

SAJ14SAJ

1:38 AM

brindle and bridle can be verbs

Cerberus

Bring to bear?

snickers

it is an adjective

Oh...

briny

Frappant, sprechend, brisant?

SAJ14SAJ

1:38 AM

brilliant

rumtscho

no, not all three in German :)

Cerberus

Hehe.

rumtscho

the French one has an English cognate

Cerberus

Hmm...

Same three letters?

rumtscho

yes

SAJ14SAJ

1:39 AM

brittle

Or phra...

frangible

Ding!

@SAJ14SAJ ding

Spr...

1:40 AM

spröde in German

Cerberus

Ohh...

rumtscho

fragile in French

Cerberus

Didn't know spröde.

Brittle/frangible was good.

rumtscho

what is it in Dutch?

Cerberus

Breekbaar, fragiel...

SAJ14SAJ

1:41 AM

mai han Сто

fre eng rus

Cerberus

Oh, dear. Which languages?

Ah.

SAJ14SAJ

I cheated with web translate for the russian, so I cannot vouch for its accuracy.

Cerberus

Main, maiden, maize...

@SAJ14SAJ You should use Wikipedia to translate.

rumtscho

I used translate for all the dutch ones above and most french

SAJ14SAJ

Sorry, it was fre eng rus

my mistake

rumtscho

1:42 AM

for thinking them up I mean, I don't use it for guessing, that would be boring

Cerberus

Ohh.

Main/hand...

SAJ14SAJ

@Cerberus Winner.

rumtscho

sto has nothing to do with hand

Cerberus

And...something Russian third!

Yay!

rumtscho

@SAJ14SAJ hmm, what did you get from Translate?

SAJ14SAJ

1:44 AM

enc inc ong === fre eng dut

rumtscho

incorporate?

Cerberus

Encroyable, incredible, ongelofelijk?

rumtscho

could be lots of words, all three are a prefix I think

SAJ14SAJ

Стороны

@Cerberus Yes.

Cerberus

@rumtscho Yeah most likely.

rumtscho

1:44 AM

@SAJ14SAJ this means "sides"

Cerberus

@SAJ14SAJ Yay!

SAJ14SAJ

I am too easy, my french vocabulary is too limited.

Cerberus

Naah.

rumtscho

lim/bor/gre

Cerberus

Limite, border, grens.

rumtscho

1:45 AM

if I told you the language, it would be too easy

SAJ14SAJ

@rumtscho I believe you, I don't speak russian.

Cerberus

Grens.

rumtscho

@Cerberus ding! I was thinking of Limes in Latin

Cerberus

Haha just as good.

Or English limit.

I think German has Grenz btw?

rumtscho

@Cerberus Grenze

Cerberus

1:46 AM

Ah OK.

@SAJ14SAJ Do you know what most Greek/Cyrillic letters sound like?

SAJ14SAJ

@Cerberus No, I just ignore those clues.

Cerberus

Ah OK.

We could translitterate those...or you could learn the letters!

The Russian/Bulgarian rarely helps me either.

SAJ14SAJ

I am too old to learn anything.

rumtscho

han (ger) - sca (fre) - out (eng)

SAJ14SAJ

I last learned sometihing in 1993.

Cerberus

1:48 AM

But I was thinking I might use Greek.

SAJ14SAJ

outrage?

rumtscho

@Cerberus I stopped using it because I noticed that it doesn't make much sense when you two are guessing :)

Cerberus

Hand, Handy, Hang-something...

@rumtscho Yeah that's right.

rumtscho

I was evil. The German one is really obscure.

But the French should be easy to guess.

Cerberus

Scandale, scala, scale, scabreux...

Outrage?

rumtscho

1:49 AM

no, no programming in scala. This is what I will do tomorrow.

SAJ14SAJ

@Cerberus nice

Cerberus

@SAJ14SAJ Ah, you already said it.

SAJ14SAJ

@rumtscho How do you go from C# to Scala?

rumtscho

yes, outrageous/scandaleux/hanebuechen

Cerberus

Haha the German sounds wacky.

rumtscho

1:50 AM

@SAJ14SAJ I don't do C# at home. Kinda hard on a Linux computer.

Cerberus

Never heard of it.

SAJ14SAJ

@rumtscho Not at all, mono.

rumtscho

@SAJ14SAJ It's such a cramp

SAJ14SAJ

Scala is like Java but without the support ecosystem.

rumtscho

It does a great job of running the stuff already developed on a Windows platform

but using it for the main development process is painful

@SAJ14SAJ no, it isn't

SAJ14SAJ

1:52 AM

@rumtscho IT kind of is, since it uses the java class libraries. I know it has its rabid fanboys.

Cerberus

Mon/sol/მონ.

rumtscho

scala is a mostly functional language with very flexible syntax and concise syntax

Cerberus

I'll leave it to you to guess the languages hehe.

rumtscho

it might be the same thing from the point of view of the machine which runs it

SAJ14SAJ

lisp has a very flexible and consise syntax. It is also completely unreadable :-)

rumtscho

1:52 AM

but its user interface is completely different

SAJ14SAJ

mono solo?

rumtscho

scala is very pleasantly readable

Cerberus

@SAJ14SAJ Longer...

SAJ14SAJ

solopsism

rumtscho

this is, if you don't misuse its flexibility and redefine all the standard operators and functions :)

SAJ14SAJ

1:53 AM

solitude

soldier

Cerberus

You were already much closer...

rumtscho

solar?

Cerberus

Hint: one is English (and might have a French counterpart), the other is French (and has an English counterpart).

rumtscho

mononucleosis?

Cerberus

The third is another language. You only need to guess which language it is.

@rumtscho What's the sol- word, then?

Note that they are not exact synonyms...

SAJ14SAJ

1:55 AM

monument

rumtscho

@Cerberus no idea, I don't know any French names of diseases

SAJ14SAJ

monolith

rumtscho

The third language looks like Hindi

Cerberus

@rumtscho Heh.

rumtscho

just from the letter shape. Or Armenian.

Cerberus

1:56 AM

The sol- word does not mean 100 % the same as the mon- word, but meh.

@rumtscho Closer...

solitary

"solstafir"

solstice

This is the only Islandic word I know

Cerberus

You already have the right initial roots...

rumtscho

1:57 AM

it means "crepuscular rays"

SAJ14SAJ

sole

Cerberus

48 secs ago, by Cerberus

The sol- word does not mean 100 % the same as the mon- word, but meh.

soluble?

:-)

All nopes.

1:57 AM

solvent

solcintra

Okay, that one is fictional.

rumtscho

just "solo", as in singing alone?

Cerberus

Haha.

@rumtscho Nope.

rumtscho

solid

SAJ14SAJ

solute

Cerberus

Perhaps the words are too different for you to guess.

SAJ14SAJ

1:59 AM

I only have one effective language to guess from

Cerberus

I.e. my bad.

rumtscho

if they are not exact synonyms, I declare "sol" for Sun and "monde" for Earth to be good enough

Cerberus

Haha.

Now that's not good enough.

SAJ14SAJ

Most of us wouldn't consider sol a word, any except in the same sense Amy is.
