a sequence of words i'd like to inform you about


Thanks to everyone who helped write this!!!!
<3 i really appreciate it.

haggis |ˈhagis|
noun ( pl. same)
a Scottish dish consisting of a sheep's or calf's offal mixed with suet, oatmeal, and seasoning and boiled in a bag, traditionally one made from the animal's stomach.
ORIGIN late Middle English : probably from earlier hag ‘hack, hew,’ from Old Norse hҩggva.

pretty gross right.
that makes me feel extremely disgusting.
I mean like BLAHHH.

What provokes people to eat horrible things like that! Poor sheep! It's so cute, and fluffy. I guess it's no different than eating a cow or pig I guess, but why do I feel so grossed out about eating something like that? Maybe I'm just a loser. I'd like to think I'd try anything once, but that is one thing I'll never try. :/




phantasmagoria |fanˌtazməˈgôrēə|
noun
a sequence of real or imaginary images like that seen in a dream : what happened next was a phantasmagoria of horror and mystery.
DERIVATIVES
phantasmagoric |-gôrik| |fønˈˈtøzməˈgɔrɪk| |-ˈgɒrɪk| adjective
phantasmagorical |gôrikəl| |fønˈˈtøzməˈgɔrəkəl| |-ˈgɒrɪk(ə)l| adjective
ORIGIN early 19th cent. (originally the name of a London exhibition (1802) of optical illusions produced chiefly by magic lantern): probably from French fantasmagorie, from fantasme ‘phantasm’ + a fanciful suffix.

Have you ever expierenced this? Phantasmagoria? I never knew what it was called, but I know I've had it happen. It's like seeing something you've already seen before, or you think you've seen before. It's actually rather creepy. At first you don't know what's going on, it's like simple deja vu. Phantasmagoria. :/

I always wanted to know how to use it in a correct sentence xD

I really didn't know that word exist in the English dictionary.
I only thought that is was a nice name for a Jp rock band :]
