qi: the physical life-force postulated by certain chinese philosophers; the material principle.*
by Carolinelast night i played scrabble with ed and nathan. it was fun and everything but the best part was nathan’s continuous questions about which words were valid:
“is vag a word?”
“i can just add -eth and make a new word, right?”
“how do you feel about making plurals using -z?”
“can i just put e- in front of something to make a new word? e-quarrel?”
“i was thinking ipox, like ipod.”
( * from the oed.)
