Superfluous is a great word because I can use it in its own definition like: "a superfluous way of saying unnecessary." And it still clearly defines the word even if you didn't know what it meant.

[semperardens-juli]

A disillusioned individual, often born into wealth and privilege, the superfluous man regards the society around him with boredom, cynicism, and lack of interest, at the same time feeling himself to be morally and intellectually superior.

Words you'll never use, Volume Two

In case last week’s post on words you will never use wasn’t enough for you, we herewith present Words You’ll Never Use, Volume 2. (Please note: “herewith” is not one of them, but probably should be).

Let’s start off with a tasty one. You’ll probably never use – or even hear – the word “tracklements” unless perhaps you spend some time in England. Tracklements is a term that covers a wide range of savory condiments, such as various mustards, relishes, chutneys and so on, usually served with a meat dish. British food writer Dorothy Hartley is believed to have coined the word in 1954. She said it was derived from a dialect word, “trankelment,” which meant “trinkets or ornaments.”

If you overdo the tracklements with your dinner, you might have trouble fitting into your “cuirass.” A cuirass is a piece of armor that covers the torso. It can be a single piece or multiple pieces joined together to cover the front and back. Although a cuirass is usually formed of metal, the word itself comes from Latin words that mean “leather,” which was the original material for a cuirass. And no, I did not include this word simply because it has the word “ass” in it.

Before you go to war in your cuirass, you might seek a benison from the chaplain. “Benison” is just another word for benediction or blessing, although “benison” was around for hundreds of years before benediction. It’s from Latin words meaning “to speak well of.”

You may have to go to the narthex to seek your benison. “Narthex” refers to the lobby, vestibule, porch or antechamber of early churches. The narthex was at the end of the church farthest from the sanctuary. Hey, nobody wants you bringing your muddy hobnailed boots and dirty cuirass into the sanctuary, right? “Narthex” has its roots in a Greek word meaning “giant fennel,” but damned if I know why.

I hope you’re not damned to suffer from “nyctophobia.” No, wise guy, it’s not the fear of “nycts.” It’s an extreme, irrational fear of the dark or nighttime.

Things that go bump in the night could lead to “ligyrophobia.” That’s a fear of loud noises. (Shhh!) I might mention that the word “phonophobia” means the same thing, but I know at least one of you clever old-timers would make a joke about a fear of record players.

I could also tell you that yet another word for ligyrophobia is sonophopbia, but that would just be supererogatory, and we wouldn’t want that. Things that are “supererogatory” are superfluous, more than required, above and beyond what is necessary.

Come to think of it, this whole post is supererogatory.

If, as suggested by other cultures (outside Christianity) and philosophical traditions (non-Christian belief systems), the universe were somehow less than an objective reality, science would be superfluous.

After the elaborate paper¹ by Ehrenberg, on the phosphorescence of the sea, it is almost superfluous on my part to make any observations on the subject.

fucking guy

[bellshazes]

honestly figuring out an etho random mention mystery after several years of having wondered it bc he was shamed into showing his desk setup is amazing. i'd bet money that third monitor has been sitting on his desk, broken, for at minimum four years. he got a "second" monitor in 2020 although he used to have two ages before that. QED the old one broke, he never got rid of it, and eventually got a new second (third) one. mystery solved

I don't get people who are like "whether Patroclus and Achilles had a physical relationship is irrelevant, their bond is more important than that" like yeah sure they're best friends that have grown up together and are each other's favourite/most trusted person, Achilles values Patroclus more than all the Achaeans put together and wishes to sack Troy just for the two of them, Patroclus asks to be buried with him so that they can be together forever, they are narrative foils but also share more similarities than any other pair in the Iliad, their love transcends physical intimacy; in fact no measure of intimacy could make their bond stronger than it already is, whatever souls are made of theirs are the same........... and also, they are fucking

Helloo!! I wanna ask about something from Arc 1 Part 18 to 20, what does the chip do? Is it a tracking device?? (The chip that they are putting in Donnie's brain). sorry if this had already been asked

but, to be clear... the tag and the chip are very different

I want to talk about this photograph!!!

It’s the one on Reigen’s “With our satisfied customers!” corkboard hung up in the office and it appears specifically when seen by Tsubomi in s2e8.

This corkboard displaying all of Reigen’s satisfied clients didn’t show up until s2e6—after Separation Arc begins. Reigen realizes he’s completely alone at the bar, has his panic attack in the alleyway, and then starts his big push for fame with the livestreams and stuff. He puts up this corkboard around that point in the episode, partially to showcase his efficacy to potential clients, and probably also to try and convince himself that he’s not alone.

Upon first—and even subsequent—watches, I didn’t think anything about the picture. Like, yeah, of course Tsubomi would see some evidence of Mob in the Spirits n’ Such office. He’s been there multiple days a week for years. But I’ve been thinking about it more this time around and it kinda just hit me how sweet it is.

This picture of Mob and Reigen is on the corkboard for satisfied clients, where it doesn’t really belong. Mob isn’t a client. It’s markedly more casual than the other photos all taken in the field because it’s literally just them hanging out together in the office. Also, Reigen has his arm on Mob’s shoulder, so this is the only picture on the entire board where Reigen is initiating contact and demonstrating affection (the one where the lady has her arm around his shoulder doesn’t count because that wasn’t his personal action).

The picture is also pinned beneath two other photos that are layered on top, insinuating that they happened after his picture with Mob. I like to think that Reigen hung this picture up on the board after he and Mob reunited, even though it’s a board for clients, just because he loved it and wanted to have it in the office. I think he wanted to have tangible evidence of his connection with Mob after spending so long alone, especially in the office. And the two pictures on top might just be clients that came after the end of Separation Arc but before the events of episode 8. Sneaking photos of a loved one into office space is such a classic dad/big brother move lol.

In addition to this, there’s an illustration that came in the Mob Psycho 100 II DVD/Blu-Ray set that’s very similar to this. (I couldn’t find a full version without the “SAMPLE” 😭)

It looks like another version of the “satisfied client” board with another picture of Reigen and Mob pinned on it, both of them making peace signs and smiling at the camera. I think Reigen just really likes taking cute photos with Mob and pinning them around the office lol. It’s incredibly endearing when you think about it—especially since Reigen tried to act so cool and unaffected by everything near the start of the series. No one is immune to Mob.
