ellauri171.html on line 984: If one knew nothing about the biblical character Jezebel, but used a search engine to find more information, the search results would have almost nothing to do with her as she appears in the Hebrew bible. She is one of the few biblical characters to have become her own noun; in the modern world, “Jezebel” connotes a sexually immoral woman. The thesaurus yields results such as “floozy, hooker, and hussy.” The Urban Dictionary returns definitions like:

Authoritative sources such Thesaurus and Urban Dictionary return results like “whore,” “harlot,” “slut.” John in his drug dream seems to associate the Biblical queen with the “mother of whores and of abominations” who “rules over the kings of the earth” and who has committed fornication with them (Revelation 17:2, 5, 18).

ellauri247.html on line 286: CICISBEO: In 18th- and 19th-century Italy, the cicisbeo (Italian: [tʃitʃiˈzbɛːo]; plural: cicisbei) or cavalier servente (French: chevalier servant) was the man who was the professed gallant or lover of a woman married to someone else. With the knowledge and consent of the husband, the cicisbeo attended his mistress at public entertainments, to church and other occasions, and had privileged access to this woman. The arrangement is comparable to the Spanish cortejo or estrecho and, to a lesser degree, to the French petit-maître.,(petit-maître m (plural petits-maîtres) (archaic) dandy, coxcomb). The exact etymology of the word is unknown; some evidence suggests it originally meant "in a whisper" (perhaps an onomatopeic word). Other accounts suggest it is an inversion of bel cece, which means "beautiful chick (pea)". According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the first recorded usage of the term in English was found in a letter by Lady Mary Wortley Montagu dated 1718. The term appears in Italian in Giovanni Maria Muti's Quaresimale Del Padre Maestro Fra Giovanni Maria Muti De Predicatori of 1708 (p. 734).
ellauri247.html on line 308: Samuel Johnson (18 September 1709  – 13 December 1784), often wrongly called Dr Johnson, was an English writer who made lasting contributions as a poet, playwright, essayist, moralist, critic, biographer, editor and lexicographer. He was a devout Anglican, and a committed Tory. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography calls him "arguably the man using most four letter words in English history".
ellauri247.html on line 327: Sam was an Oxford dropout because he was too poor to pay his way. He eventually did receive a degree for free: just before the publication of his Dictionary in 1755, the University of Oxford awarded Johnson the degree of Master of Arts. He was awarded an honorary doctorate in 1765 by Trinity College Dublin and in 1775 by the University of Oxford. Pelkkiä säälipisteitä.
ellauri262.html on line 266: Päästyään sairaalasta Tolkien sai entisen islannin opettajansa William Craigien kautta työpaikan avustajana Oxford English Dictionaryn toimituskunnassa. Hän aloitti työssä 1919 tehtävänään käsitellä muutamia W-kirjaimella alkavia, etymologialtaan germaanisperäisiä sanoja. Noihin aikoihin hän esitteli luomansa maailman ensimmäistä kertaa julkisemmin lukemalla The Fall of Gondolinin Exeter Collegen esseekerhossa. Vuonna 1920 Tolkien sai englannin kielen apulaisprofessorin viran Leedsin yliopistosta, ja perhe muutti viideksi vuodeksi Pohjois-Englantiin. Vuonna 1924 hänet nimitettiin yliopiston englannin kielen professoriksi. Seuraavana vuonna Tolkien kuitenkin palasi Oxfordiin saatuaan muinaisenglannin professorin viran. Hän opetti Oxfordin yliopistossa 1925–1959 muinais- ja keskiajan englannin professorina.lähde?

ellauri368.html on line 66: Among the Jews of the Slavonic countries "maskil" usually denotes a self-taught Hebrew scholar with an imperfect knowledge of a living language (usually German), who represents the love of learning and the striving for culture awakened by Mendelssohn and his disciples; i.e., an adherent or follower of the Haskalah movement. He is "by force of circumstances detained on the path over which the Jews of western Europe swiftly passed from rabbinical lore to European culture" and to emancipation, and "his strivings and short-comings exemplify the unfulfilled hopes and the disappointments of Russian civilization." The Maskilim are mostly teachers and writers; they taught a part of the young generation of Russian Jewry to read Hebrew and have created the great Neo-Hebrew literature which is the monument of Haskalah. Although Haskalah has now been flourishing in Russia for three generations, the class of Maskilim does not reproduce itself. The Maskilim of each generation are recruited from the ranks of the Orthodox Talmudists, while the children of Maskilim very seldom follow in the footsteps of their fathers. This is probably due to the fact that the Maskil who breaks away from strictly conservative Judaism in Russia, but does not succeed in becoming thoroughly assimilated, finds that his material conditions have not been improved by the change, and, while continuing to cleave to Haskalah for its own sake, he does not permit his children to share his fate. The quarrels between the Maskilim and the Orthodox, especially in the smaller communities, are becoming less frequent. In the last few years the Zionist movement has contributed to bring the Maskilim, who joined it almost to a man, nearer to the other classes of Jews who became interested in that movement. The numerous Maskilim who emigrated to the United States, especially after the great influx of Russian immigrants, generally continued to follow their old vocation of teaching and writing Hebrew, while some contributed to the Yiddish periodicals. Many of those who went thither in their youth entered the learned professions. See Literature, Modern Hebrew. (Source: Jewish Dictionary)

xxx/ellauri287.html on line 218: Διαπονέομαι, "olla ärsyyntynyt" kuuluu semanttiseen alueeseen moraaliset ja eettiset ominaisuudet ja niihin liittyvä käyttäytyminen, alialue viha, suuttunut (Louw & Nida, 763). ESV, NASB ja NIV kääntävät kaikki sanan διαπονηθεὶς "särmättynä", kun taas HCSB kääntää sen "pahantuneeksi". Alue sallii kuitenkin laajemman tunnereaktion. Kun otetaan huomioon verkkotunnus- ja aliverkkotunnus luokittelu, on tärkeää huomata, että tämä tunne ei todennäköisesti ollut suunnattu tytölle itselleen. Tämä kohta on osa merkittyjä "me"-kohtia, mikä (kuten edellä on todettu) osoittaa, että lääkäri oli paikalla tällä hetkellä. Tarinan luonnollinen kulku osoittaa, että tytön hyväksikäyttö oli ainakin tälle ryhmälle tietoista, joka saattoi johtua hiänen jatkuvasta läsnäolostaan. Se, että διαπονέομαι sallii suuttumuksen, on hyödyllistä, koska suuttumus määritellään "vihaksi tai ärsytykseksi, jonka aiheuttaa epäreilu kohtelu". Oxford English Dictionary, 3. painos, sv “Indignation”.
xxx/ellauri306.html on line 593: Käytämme myös sanaa semi, esimerkiksi jalkapalloturnauksen välierissä, puoliympyrässä tai paritalossa (eli se jakaa seinän toisen talon kanssa). Semi yksikkösanana on Yhdistyneessä kuningaskunnassa slangi jollekin, joka liittyy miehen yksityiselämään. Jos haluat täydellisen määritelmän, voit tarkistaa sen Urban Dictionary -sanakirjasta: Ei aivan erektio, mutta sinne menossa. "Kun näin Milla Jovovichin tissit, sain semin." Pääsin puoliveteeseen. Milla Jovovich (oik. Milica Jovović, ukr.

xxx/ellauri306.html on line 602: Lapsen kutsuminen "Spunkyksi" on kauheaa kauheaa kauheaa (vaikka rouheaa). En ollut koskaan kuullut, että ketään olisi sanottu "pisuksi", saati lasta, ennen kuin tulin Amerikkaan. Enemmänkin, jos käytät sitä samalla tavalla kuin sanottaessa "tällä lapsella on paljon spunkkia". Koputa Y-kirjain ja etsi se sitten (toivottavasti Google UK ei merkitse tätä viestiä…) ja olen melko varma, että et koskaan enää sano sitä lapsesta. Kun Urban Dictionary on auki, voit yhtä hyvin kiinnittää tämän siihen. Niille, jotka eivät halua etsiä sitä, taas aivan kuten semi, se on slangi jollekin muulle, joka liittyy "miesosiin", nimittäin runkku.
