Word of the Day

skoptsy n.

self-castration



Use of word: When OSU went out onto the field, it soon became self-evident that they had all committed skoptsy earlier that day.



Origin of word (from the infallible Wikipedia):

The Skoptsy (Russian: also transliterated as Skoptzy, Skoptzi, Skoptsi, Skopzi, Scoptsy , Skapetz and other spellings) were a secret sect of Christianity in imperial Russia. The Skoptsy are best known for practicing castration of men and the mastectomy of women in accordance with their teachings against sexual lust. The movement originated as an offshoot of the sect known as the "People of God" and was first noted in the late eighteenth century. The Skoptsy were persecuted by the imperial government and later by the Soviet Union, but enjoyed substantial growth before fading into obscurity by the mid-twentieth century.





Beliefs and practice of castration



The name "Skoptsy" is a plural of "skopets", an archaic word meaning "castrated one" in the Russian language.



As their title indicates, the main feature of the sect was castration. They believed that after the expulsion from the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve had the halves of the forbidden fruit grafted onto their bodies forming testicles and breasts. Thus, the removal of these sexual organs restored the Skoptsy to the pristine state before the Original Sin.



There were two kinds of castration: the "lesser" and "greater seal" (i.e. partial and complete castration). For men, "lesser" castration was the removal of the testicles only, while "greater" castration was the removal of the penis as well. In this the Skoptsy maintained that they were fulfilling Christ's counsel of perfection in Matthew 19:12 and 18:8,9. The earliest records of female castrations date from 1815. Usually the breasts only were amputated, according to the 1911 encyclopedia. Other accounts suggest that the labia were also removed.



The Skoptsy also believed that a chief evil of the world is rooted in the lepost (bodily beauty, human sexuality, sex appeal, etc.) which prevents people from communicating with God. The way to perfection begins with the elimination of the cause followed by the liberation of soul. Castration ensured that all sins caused by lepost could not be committed.

I don't know about you, but that is one religion that I have no desire to join up with.



Italics, maybe you should consider joining the Skoptsies before getting married. :lol: :lol: :bug: :bug:

Some I know, some I just read in books, and some I hear in conversation.

So, you spend most of your free time reading old dictionaries and talking to pedants? ;) ;)



pedant: One who makes an excessive or tedeous show of learning. :gross:



I just openned this thread for the first time, and found it too fun to close and go to bed. In the morning, my wife, who went to bed early, not feeling well, will be asking me what time I came to bed, and what kept me up so late. I'll just tell her that it would take a lot of long words to explain it. ;) ;) :whistle: :D

rediculous adj.

Something worse than ridiculous, even worse than dumb ass.



I honestly thought that "rediculous" was a misspelling of the word "ridiculous" but I have realized that it is the correct spelling of "acting like a :utard: " in the Adamic language.



Usage:

The way the Cougs opened up a can of whoop-ass on the :utard: was ridiculous, but the way Henderson behave at the end of the game was redicuolous.

Oh thank heaven. I was beginning to go into shaking spasms and severe headaches from withdrawal from my word of the day fix. Thanks urroner. BTW today's word was one of the most sensible yet.
