To add its importance in popular culture, it was the name of the business in the The Eternal Sunshine of Spotless Mind which removed people's memories.
Superb film.

acerbica·cer·bic/əˈsərbik/Adjective 1. (esp. of a comment or style of speaking) Sharp and forthright. 2. Tasting sour or bitter. It is really confusing when scrolling and I bump into Saint John of Damascus and I start reading a post and wonder where in the heck Isa is coming from, or wonder where the acerbic wit is, or the entire catalog of Rand McNally from the Garden of Eden to present in 33,346 x 24,764 pixels per map is.

To be more precise it is the odd character of being one can experience in the not quite awake and not quite asleep state. Often it is pretty cool, until that darn hypnic jerk! gets in the way. Many controlled and not yet controlled substances are often referred to hypnagogics due to the "similar" affect the can have on people. Really a hypnagogic state can be induce in many ways: starvation, lack of sleep, monotony. Monastery much? |

Football is a sport played between two teams of eleven with the objective of scoring points by advancing the ball into the opposing team's end zone. The ball can be advanced by running with it or throwing it to a teammate. Points can be scored by carrying the ball over the opponent's goal line, catching a pass thrown over that goal line, kicking the ball through the opponent's goal posts or tackling an opposing ball carrier in his own end zone. (sorry i could not help myself) |

declaimsource v. To deliver a formal recitation, especially as an exercise in rhetoric or elocution. v. To speak loudly and vehemently; inveigh. v. To utter or recite with rhetorical effect. Used in Nassar's Divine Prayers and Services at points in Matins of December 25. Had to look it up myself. Not sure it's the best translation. With my priest's approval, changed to "proclaim (the marvel)" in accordance with other translations of the text .
