You Be The Dictionary
Hi, everyone!
If you think creating a dictionary's easy, let's try to be one. :LOL:
Every poster gives a word for the next poster to define it with their own words, followed by a new expression.
Words don't have to be difficult. Indeed, the simpler the word is, the better - as sometimes they're harder to define due to their simplicity. No Wikipedia, Google or Call a friend.
This is a kind of training for those who usually talk to 3-year-old lads.
Let's begin with the definition of
PAPER

PAPER: noun. Narrow sheet mainly made from trees, in which you can write. Curious information: To produce a sheet of paper is needed 0,37 litres of clean water, that's why you should NOT waste paper, try using it on both sides ;-)

Re: You Be The Dictionary
Funny, because politics is meant to be related, not mixed, with economics. However, today these two fields are so corrupted in conjunction with power, that it's impossible to think of them separately!Misor wrote:POLITICS (n): (my opinion) The excuse for some people to take money from the people justifying it by making decisions on their behalf.

Re: You Be The Dictionary
I'm aware it's a bit difficult. I can see your conception of soul is related to Plato's definition. In previous times, though, or even in simultaneous times to his life and work, the sould was conceived as the body itself. What you mentioned, then, would have been the spirit. Philosophy issues...Misor wrote:It is so difficult
INTELLIGENCE (n): The ability to think in order to carry out a variety of tasks and functions in life. E.g. intelligence to operate an item, intelligence to react, intelligence to learn a new thing, emotional intelligence, etc.
