Bethany Jean Clement, she of the intimidating vocabulary, has discovered this one for me: albedo. Follow that link and click on that little red speaker icon thing and a man will say it for you.
I may use it in an adventure article I’m writing for next week’s Stranger, if I can figure out a way to make it sound not totally pretentious.
For now, please enjoy some random photos of excellent albedo:
All hail albedo!
Wait, albedo is a pretentious word? Stupid uppity astronomers!
Well, if I go ahead with it, I won't be describing the moon or anything. I'll be describing some fine spray, all lit up.
yeah, down with orange rinds!!
there's a vangelis album and song titled "albedo 0.39". that's all i know of albedo. it think it's cover is a good reflection of albedo. at least better than that weird mashed potato shot in the middle of this post!
Terry--you mean the crack cocaine? Mmmm, crack cocaine. Such nice albedo it has.
For more M-W enjoyment, go to http://www.m-w.com, search for "son of a bitch", and listen to the SECOND pronunciation.
Where did she learn that word? She must have been talking to a GENIUS.
..or perhaps reading the comic of the same name back in the late '80s. Lovely anthropomorphism that one.
