    Time Event
    12:55a
    December 19's Word of the day from the Forgotten English calendar...
    psychopomp

    A guide or conductor of spirits or souls to the other world.
    -- William Whitney's Century Dictionary, 1889

    There's a cool-sounding word! I think it should be brought back! It ought to have a new meaning, though... I'm thinking along the lines of "totally flamboyant and insane". For example: "The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory are perfect examples of psychopomp cinema."

    What do you think, sirs?

    Current Mood: productive
    Current Music: The White Stripes - Fell in Love with a Girl
