Which reminds me. There should be a midwinter holiday. You have a hundred holidays in Nov/Dec, but then nothing at all happens for months after. Something in say mid/late Feb. Where lots of eating happens, and people come together to damn the cold long hard winter which hasn't let up and may not let up until April.
The perfect word for this comes from today’s slang. In the current vernacular, you would say that he felt meh. It’s recent slang that per Urban Dictionary means
Indifference; to be used when one simply does not care.
For example, from an article on “Five Ways Not to Feel Meh” on Karousing...
Hat-vote, please :) I still need one more upvote on the question and two more upvotes on my answer to it to get Red Baron:
Although the word incrementation has been seen in print, it occurs only incredibly rarely according to this Google N-gram:
To control for verb use instead of noun use, I’ve put an in front of the singular noun and of after the plural one.
As you see, there is a frequency difference of 3 to 4 ...
No, you are almost certainly mistaken about any overt borrowing from German Obstgarten to produce English orchard.
You are struggling too hard to look for an added -r-, when in fact, it was already present in Latin (h)ort-(us) right from the get-go. There were also cognate Gothic words star...

EDIT: I waited ten hours for other answers to appear, then presented my own findings. I do not pretend that mine is the only possible answer, and would like to hear what others have to say in their own answers.
The English word playa is pronounced /ˈplaɪ.ə/ in English with two syllables, with ...
in general on other stackexchanges, if you include a link in an answer it is expected that you at lease summarize what you linked to. (to mitigate net rot)
earlier I edited an answer to include a definition, it was accepted, then a minute later another edited the same answer to just link to the online dictionary.
@Mitch Thanks. That's what I thought. Just wanted to double check
in any case, I just wanted to bring to everyone's attention that I have actually stopped being mean. I'm off to town to do my tasks for today; have a nice afternoon.
this is a Kafka novel. I'm living in a Kafka novel.
everyone except me is completely blind to others being violent toward me.
@Matt it is true that if one is Chinese, one is less likely to be able to pronounce "playa". this is a fact and I was not intending to be racist. now this guy is threatening to hunt me down and I am scared.

The bullet is not new, nor is its name. It has been used by typographers long before the general public caught hold of it.
You asked about the origin of the bullet for this purpose. It turns out that the bullet has been used since time immemorial: merely look at Trajan’s Column or Gutenberg’s B...
I need but one more upvote for a hat on any 2 of these 3: here, here, or here. In return, I’ll provide you with either a quid-pro-quo or a stunning thong pic.
I'm trying to think of a noun meaning "the process sought to be undertaken by one who is reactionary."
Platonic is the usual choice to describe this.
E.g. "They look intimate but they're merely platonic friends."
