Are you familiar with "antebellum"? I like that one too. Generally see it used to describe homes, etc., that predate the Civil War.

"Bellum" is derived from the Latin for "war," which is where we get our word "belligerent" -- also, as in "casus belli," the cause or justification for war.

I should, most definately. But I can't play with Lex. laugh That would be very embarassing for me... throwing myself at him, jist dumping my azz.. gem being a bit amused and feeling sorry for me...

A bit deterministic. I think the actual process would be somewhat more stochastic.
:wink:

Um, Lex.... did you miss my stalking posts? You do live within driving distance. Stalking could be rather, um....stochastic for you. I've got a full tank of gas, too. Just a random thought, to be my more plebeian self. smooched

Montana, It's been so long, it's antideluvian = before the great flood!


Lilith -- you got a couple letters switched around in there!

It's antediluvian; "ante" meaning "before" as opposed to "anti" meaning "against" !!

I suspect the "diluvian" part stems from the same Latin root as "deluge," although I don't know that for sure.

My word is "megatherium," a giant prehistoric ground sloth.
