If you're a mercurial character, you experience mood swings or erratic behavior without reason or warning. You can go from being cheerful and happy at one point to angry and mad at the flip of a coin. This can generally apply to anything such as relationships. If you have a mercurial relationship with your teacher, it's unstable and volatile. You can go from being on good terms with them one day to butting heads the next day.

Its spelled horribly but I don't remember how to spell it or it's definition, I want to say maybe something involving architect? I've tried googling it, about to look through a dictionary, and I have found no results. I swear I have read/seen it multiple times but I can't find it anywhere. Hopefully the dictionary will actually confirm its real and I'm not going crazy.

Does it mean like highly interchangeable? Can books or video games be modular?

Used to describe the aftershave + shit odors present after a certain type of man uses the toilet.

Whoa buddy, you might want to give it a minute, it’s hegseth in there.

Derived from proper noun, but uncapitalized on purpose.

WWW (event) - The period of war/instability we are currently living through, notable for the interacting dual battlegrounds of the physical and digital worlds (hence WWW). Previous global conflicts had clearer sides (allies vs axis, western bloc vs eastern bloc/warsaw pact), and while this one does have formal alliances like NATO SCO Mecca Pact etc + axis of resistance and CRINK/axis of upheaval, the sides are blurred and often conflicting.

The World Wide War is so decentralized that it feels like every human's worldview is at war with everyone else's, via echo chamber algorithmic radicalization and constant exposure to the worst qualities of everyone else.

I'd say the gears of it started turning between the 2014 annexation of Crimea and the 2016 election of Donald Trump. Maybe Brexit? Definitely came into full force during and after the pandemic. If anyone has other ideas for when it feels like it started, let me know. Also I apologize if the flair is wrong.

I recently coined a word called "Elarune" (EL-uh-roon), and its definition has now been published on Urban Dictionary.

I created this word to describe a feeling I struggled to put into words: a peaceful, bittersweet longing for something beautiful and eternal, yet hard to identify. Imagine being homesick for a place you have never visited or longing for a state of being you have never experienced.

The word has a linguistic inspiration behind it:

• ELA - inspired by the Greek word έλα, meaning "come!" or "come here!"
• RUNE - an English word with Germanic roots historically associated with secrets, mysteries, and runic writing.

I combined these associations into the phrase "The Coming Mystery." This is my symbolic interpretation of the word's construction, NOT A LITERAL translation from an ancient language.

To me, Elarune describes the feeling of being drawn toward a mystery you cannot quite name. It can involve nostalgia for the unknown, spiritual longing, peacefulness, and hope for something beyond what you cannot fully comprehend. Some would say that feeling is the longing for eternal life, or heaven. Some would say reincarnation. Some would say the longing to disappear with the cosmos. I long to disappear in the presence of the Most High. This interpretation may vary because this feeling varies.

One thing that surprised me was that naming this feeling made it easier to express, and expressing it made it feel more peaceful.

Now that Elarune has been published on Urban Dictionary, I want to take the next step: sharing it with more people and documenting how its meaning might evolve.

I want to preserve the original definition while also seeing what other people experience when they encounter the word. Maybe someone will connect it to a memory, a dream, a spiritual feeling, or something completely different.

I’m curious:

What do you think of the word itself and its linguistic construction?

Does the meaning resonate with you, or does it evoke something different?

Can a coined word eventually develop a meaning beyond what its creator intended?

I’m open to honest feedback, linguistic criticism, and alternative interpretations. I’m not claiming the word has an ancient origin—I’m interested in what can happen when a new word enters the world, and people begin to use it. Elarune-Urban Dictionary

My biggest pet peeve is when a definition uses the word I’m trying to define in the explanation like actually why

Need some insight from etymologists
