Question of the Two Days

Every two days, I'll post a new get-to-know-you-ish question. I think it'll be cool to see what people think and maybe it'll help get people to know each other better (hence, me calling it a get-to-know-you-ish question).

Question of the Two Days #1:

What word, to you, sounds like a magical spell and what would that spell do? 

My answer is 'solander.' I think it'd provide a warm lighted sphere that follows the spellcaster.

One word answer: platypuses. Like, they just seem so UNREAL. They have fur? They lay eggs? They have webbed feet? Like what the heck! (Oops that wasn't a one word answer. it was a 21 word answer.)

sorry this is a little late I'm falling behind schedule already T_T

Question of the Two Days #7: what's an illogical belief you'd defend with all your heart?

for me it's umbrellas and rain jackets. I constantly argue with my friends about my preference for getting wet over getting either an umbrella or a rain jacket wet. I know it makes no sense but there's something frustrating about carrying around a rustly wet bit of fabric and getting rained on and being damp seems so much nicer to me? I have no actual argument here though...

@Celine—yay someone noticed!! The first time it was an honest mistake and after that I just decided to keep it at #7 and see how long until someone noticed. Congrats, you're that person?

Question of the Two Days A.D. (after discovery, ofc) #1: what's a word you think nobody else on the CB knows? GOOD LUCK

does anyone know the word 'yehudi'? It's a kind of lamp at the front of an airplane that raises the brightness of the airplane to match the outside brightness.

How about "gazump"? It's when you've promised to sell a house to someone and then you sell it to someone else instead >:( I'd never heard yehudi, though

I've heard that word before...just can't remember what it means (I can't remember definitions of words very well, so I'm always looking them up to make sure I'm using them correctly lol)

I'm confused. yehudi is the Hebrew word for "Jew" (יהודי) 

Mine is floccinaucinihilipipification. Come on Sine, everyone knows that one Well, you do I can't even pronounce it! Fine, everyone, I'll think of a different one. Hm..... Oh! syzygy. That's when three or more planetary bodies line up.  Better, I think itll work, but I still know it *trying to hide yhr fact that I only learned it from Young Sheldon*
