Dark Matter eLiquid

Enjoy the wonderful flavor of our latest VapeSafe eLiquid - Dark Matter.

Dark Matter tastes like German chocolate cake. For those of you who have not had the fortunate to try a piece German chocolate cake recently, this is a great way to experience the flavor without getting any of the calories. German chocolate cake is a layered cake filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting. Traditionally sweet baking chocolate is used for the chocolate flavor in the actual cake. The robust filling and topping is a caramel made with egg yolks and evaporated milk. Once the caramel is cooked, coconut and pecans are stirred into the mixture. Finally, rich chocolate frosting is spread around the sides of the cake to hold in the filling.

Dark Matter eLiquid by VapeSafe captures the essence of German chocolate cake. Dark Matter eLiquid delivers plumes of vapor and rich chocolatey flavor that you'll want to enjoy again and again. Try Dark Matter today!

Summary: "Fun for Word Hounds & Logophiles"

First. let me say: this is NOT a comprehensive dictionary. It is not meant to be. It's far more special: it's one person's collection of life-defining, life-enhancing, life-inspiring, and life-enriching words. The book is NOT some high brow, exclusive treatise on language or history either. It is, however, an inspiring, meaty, often humorous resource that is at once accessible and scholarly. It's purpose is to put new thoughts and new words into the hands and heads of anyone who wishes to explore words. The book is organized alphabetically, and the fonts are a nice, easy-to-read size. I would suggest that, due to certain word choices within the book, that readers should be at least 14 or 15 age wise. :) The books contains these parts: 1) an Introduction; 2) the word collection; 3) listing of the ten most beautiful words "based in a poll of 40,000 people in 102 countries"; 4) Sources & Recommended Reading; 5) After Tale & About the Author.

This is a delightful book for people who enjoy words and who enjoy delving into the origins and inspirations of words--ordinary and extraordinary. I enjoy Cousineau's writing style, and I have read many of his books. From his efforts, this isn't my favorite book. (My reigning favorite from this author is "The Art of Pilgrimage: The Seekers Guide to Making Travel Sacred." ) However, this is worth reading because it is indeed "An Odyssey Into the World of Weird and Wonderful Words," and it offers a satisfying slice of edutainment (educational entertainment.) For those of us who love knowledge and trivia and live with a dictionary in easy reach, Cousineau has given us a clever gift, his own treasure chest---word hoard. These are words that have captured his interest and imagination over the years. He encourages readers to build and share their own word hoards. He reminds us how rich, exciting, and diverse human language is.

To give you an idea of the content, here are just a few of the words that can be found in this book: abracadabra; accolade; athlete; baksheesh; bamboozle; bedswerver; bull; canoodle; cappuccino; clouderpuffs; cornucopia; dastardly; dude; enigma; flizzen; gnome; gynotikolobomassophile; hip; honeymoon; jazz; kibosh; mum; mythosphere; panache; red-handed; seeksorrow; xenophillia; zemblanity, and......my personal favorite from this word hoard: arachibutyrophobia, the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of one's mouth. LOL

This book would be a fun thinking-of-you gift for students, teachers, writers, and word hounds.

Summary: "Word Catcher - Phil Cousineau (Viva Editions)"

Whether you are looking to create an amazing term paper or article or just want to be the hit of your next dinner party, we recommend taking a look at `Word Catcher: An Odyssey Into the World of Weird and Wonderful Words.' In this new release, author Phil Cousineau assembles the `delightful backstories' of 250 words that he claims to have found to be very intriguing from the first time he heard them.

With selections like `gynotikolobomassophile' (one who loves to nibble on a woman's earlobes), to `melcryptovestimentphilia' (the love of black underwear), to `catawampus' (something that is awry or askew), there are certainly enough terms for you to create your own sui-generis linguistic identity. Not to be put off, Cousineau also provides us with derivations for a host of more familiar words like `damn,' `muse,' and `eclipse' in the spirit of other similar dictionaries of word origins.

But it is his use of his unusual selections that sets Cousineau's work apart and prevents it from being - in one of his words - floccinaucinilipilificatious (that which regards something as absolutely worthless or useless, such as this very word!). A fun new book from a cool boutique publisher, Viva Editions in Berkeley.

Summary: "Ever Wonder?"

Cousineau, Phil. "Wordcatcher", Viva Editions, 2010.

Ever Wonder?

Amos Lassen


Have you ever wondered where a word came from and how it became part of our language? Sometimes a dictionary just doesn't tell us all that we want to know about a word and Phil Cousineau shares his love for words with us. "Wordcatcher" is not a dictionary and it certainly does not have as many words in it but it is wonderful in how it explains so much to us. This is a treasure trove of words and we learn their origins with wonderful little stories. Language is an amazing thing and when we consider that we use it everyday it becomes that much more amazing. We get a new feel for words here as Cousineau takes us on an adventure into a world where we have not been. The author is a master wordsmith and his explanations are brilliant and so educational. The book is pure fun and one of the best times I have had in a while. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
