I read the English Dictionary in short sections, comment on it, make bad jokes, and sometimes sing little songs. I hope it’s more entertaining than just reading the dictionary alone. It’s an evolving project so the letter ”A” had lower quality, plus less commenting and jokes.

#F86 (filet mignon to filiopietistic)

Monday Jan 27, 2025

I read from filet mignon to filiopietistic.

It seems like "filial generation" is used mainly in breeding experiments but I don't see why we can't also use it in normal breeding (like when humans make a baby) and call the baby part of the filial generation.

A filibuster is basically about "obstructing progress"...

...and you must watch these couple of clips from "Parks and Rec" where a filibuster was highlighted.

The word of the episode is "filiopietistic".
