jar bairn

boo
(noun.) dʒɑr bɛərn
(NPC) - a feisty living jar in Elden Ring's Jarburg, with standards higher than the Lord of Cinder himself. Requires soft hands for Potentate candidacy, and destroying jars will incite its wrath. Completing its questline yields a Companion Jar Talisman, and perhaps some extra moisturizer for your rough, barbaric hands.

oceania

trustycoffeemug
(n.) planet earth's seventh continent, as long as one decides to list it seventh while counting, and which is not a continent, technically speaking (it's just australia, which *is* a continent, and all the other places in the pacific that don't belong to any others)

in addition to australia, oceania is usually considered to include
* micronesia (including kiribati, resting comfortably right on the international date line)
* melanesia (including papua new guinea and, like... I guess some places they might have used for filming in "survivor." anyone remember that show?)
* and polynesia (including new zealand, hawaii, samoa, and the delightful statue heads at easter island)

marc antony

trustycoffeemug
marcus antonious (83-30 BC) is a dead roman guy.

once a sidekick to julius caesar, whom he served faithfully as a general but also humiliated a few times by routinely turning up to the senate pig-bastard drunk (this got him into a pissing match with cicero).

when julius kicked the bucket, marc took over as big cheese and set to work thrashing his old master's assassins. however, he was beaten to the punch by augustus caesar, the adopted son of the late caesar, who managed to take control of rome while marcy went skulking around the eastern world looking for allies. this led marc antony to shack up with cleopatra vii, with whom he had a torrid love affair. this sordid romance came to an end when marc antony's armies were well and truly smashed in actium, and he committed suicide to escape octavian's reprisal.

a dead british guy named william shakespeare wrote a little ditty about it.

monosyllabic

the devils dictionary
adj. Composed of words of one syllable, for literary babes who never tire of testifying their delight in the vapid compound by appropriate googoogling. The words are commonly Saxon — that is to say, words of a barbarous people destitute of ideas and incapable of any but the most elementary sentiments and emotions.

The man who writes in Saxon
Is the man to use an ax on.
—Judibras

privateer

trustycoffeemug
(n.) sort of a pirate for hire. not the same as a pirate of course; they have much more respectability due to fighting for the right reason (stealing money from foreigners) instead of the wrong reason (stealing money from anyone they please)
