word(s) of the day

aliunde - this word sounds so beautiful (at least in my head) that it's definiton is a bit disappointing:

• adv or adj. from another source (must be proven aliunde)
• prep. from a source other than

funambulist - i almost don't want to give the definition of this word because speculation about what it could mean is far more amusing. alas, to satisfy my own curiosity i must look it up:

• noun. one who performs on a tightrope or a slack rope.

hmm. i thought those were called tightrope walkers.

and you guys thought law school wasn't fun.
