      It’s the exact word they use for one of the signs of depression. You may want to look into that. Things can be better.

      “Home, home on the range,
      Where the deer and the antelope play,
      Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,
      And the skies are not cloudy all day.”

    “Adventitious” is a good word. It means:

    1. Arising from an external cause or factor; not inherent.
    2. Of or belonging to a structure that develops in an unusual place. “adventitious roots.”
    3. Added extrinsically; not essentially inherent; accidental or causal; additional; supervenient; foreign.

    I thought frigorific was a term for a mixture of chemicals that stays at a constant temperature. Never heard of the other definition, interesting.

        As an English speaker I can say a lot of these words are used, but it depends a lot on the speakers literacy level

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

  • The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author’s website, for instance).
  • The comic must be a complete story.
  • If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
  • You may post comics from others or your own.
  • If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
  • The comic can be in any language, but if it’s not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post’s ‘body’ field (note: you don’t need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
  • Politeness.
  • Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.
