Cerberus
10:01 PM
@Mitch It is Latin.
Mitch
10:20 PM
@Cerberus that only goes a tiny way to divulging its meaning
Cerberus
@Mitch It would mean something like "let it/he/she be present", but it's unclear without context.
Mitch
it's obviously 'ad sit' or 'towards is' or something
very periphrastic, if that's the word, like a phrasal verb
ah...
'adits'
that's the English word that I don't know the meaning of.
(or didn't)
Cerberus
Ahh.
Adit is from
aditum
or
aditus
, something like a going-to.
@Mitch Ad can mean towards, at, to, in addition to.
Whence
addition
.
And
apposition
.
Mitch
very apposite
Cerberus
I applaud that sentiment.
Mitch
10:32 PM
I need to adumbrate my alopecia
literally
ado doesn't work either
or aplomb
or apSimon
Cerberus
@Mitch Ah, I thought that sounded like a plant!
Mitch
@Cerberus quite the apposite
Cerberus
Indeed.
Mitch
Nice...you guys made Eurovision finals!
next step... European presidency!
That's how democracy works!
Cerberus
Alas, the European presidency is not democratic.
Mitch
10:48 PM
I think you're making my point for me.
which is...
The EU should be run, well, not
like
Eurovision...
but...
that...
Cerberus
But the European presidency has little meaning other than having to organise summits during your period.
Mitch
The European Union central administration should
be
the Eurovision governing body/election method/ and, most importantly, membership.
@Cerberus Exactly.
Cerberus
@Mitch So members like Israel and Australia should join?
Mitch
Yes! Exactly!
And if England can't put in a good entry, then...
Out
Azerbaijan is in.
Malta...oh they're already sort of in
Ukraine in
Russia...
I mean, they have the talent.
But in prison.
So out.
@Cerberus Wait, did Australia have an entry this year?
Cerberus
@Mitch I've no idea.
Mitch
10:54 PM
Sweden would obviously have a permanent seat on the council.
Cerberus
But I believe they have participated in the past.
Mitch
What that council does...well that's politics, I wouldn't know anything about that.
Cerberus
They could sing.
Mitch
Thanks for helping me articulate my political platform when I become world hegem... world leader.
@Cerberus Well, sure, at the start of al meetings. No need for that to be mandatory because it would be spontaneous most always.
Cerberus
I'm sure May would love that.
Mitch
10:58 PM
Nice, so my political platform is filling out:
1) Trees
2) Eurovision is the governing body
3) Some other third thing
@Cerberus She always struck me as a singer.
Dancer, no.
Cerberus
Why not?
Feet too pretty?
Mitch
You don't want to rile up all the men.
Hmm... I can't read. Russia is also a finalist.
So they're in the EU now.
Also Switzerland.
That's pretty weird.
You'd
never
suspect La Suisse would even bother
Cerberus
@Mitch It's Eurovision, with just one capital.
@Mitch Yes. Australia, of course. But die Schweiz?
Mitch
11:16 PM
@Cerberus Wait... are you saying the capital of Eurovision is ...
Fabulous!
Cerberus
@Mitch Um, yes. Your interpretative skills are perfect.
Mitch
I took a class in interpretive dance.
It was a reading class, but you still pick up a lot.
