That's so awesome. 😁 I love that you mentioned learning it from a video game. When I was a kid, I learned the word "catapult" from a Kiss song.(Detroit Rock City on Destroyer-hah!) Also, I learned words like "nocturnal" and "obscene" from Alice Cooper songs, way before we had them as vocabulary words in school. |
