Have You Ever Sent a Text to a Pharaoooohhhhh.............



Just...just a terrible parody of Kanye West's Monster. Unacceptable really and only related to the picture and the title by the most tenuous of associations.

Also...

TENUOUS!

means 'weak or slight'. Or 'very slender or fine'

comes from the Latin 'tenuis' which means thin. 

That's an easy word.

a synonym could be the word NEBULOUS

which can refer to a cloud or haze OR a vague concept/ idea.

Comes from the Greek 'nebula' which means mist.

AND THAT! Remains me of a very cool word.

MIASMA!

which refers to a highly unpleasant smell or vapor OR an oppressive or unpleasant atmosphere that surrounds or emanates from something.

It comes from the Greek miainen--to pollute which lead to miasma--which means defilement.

BUT! Funner fact!

ohh...I can't find it on Google. It was something I heard in a mythology class about how miasma was the stink on criminals, dead people, and the afterbirth and therefore only women could touch them. And how women embodied life and death. Those crazy Greeks. So so frustrated by women.

Not anything like our society where we have magazines, websites, and books for each gender telling people how to act and be loved and accepted based on sweeping generalities, misinformation, and the need to push cold, hard product.


(I'm getting all of these definitions and etymologies from Google, by the way)

AHHHH! Would you like to I'm a PHARAOH?!?!?!
