Competitive Vocabulary Game.

I gave the correct definition though I did so with another difficult medical term lol, both words mean bad breath. (actually the 1st word refers to the smell and the term I used refers to the medical condition it's self causing the stench) I was Pre-Med for a year until my 2nd year 1st semester my A&P professor announced cadaver lab and so I quit, I'd only wanted to be a physical therapist or psychologist, I didn't feel "cadaver lab" was necessary and it grossed me out lol. After the military I'd seen enough bodies so I switched to IT tech / computers and graphic art with a minor in English literature. I enjoy literature (and college girls) so much I went back to get a degree in literature and anthropology. Don't tell anyone though as I like to play dumb as I'm lazy and don't need people having high expectations of me HAHAHAHA! OH and yes I'm published in several journals, newspapers, books as well as other media.

Ah, well then I stand corrected sir. My curiosity got the better of me so I had to look it up. LOL

Alrighty then...

Corrugated - having an undulating surface or fashion

"Comet"

Ice-rock celestial body that originates in the mythical Oort cloud, which is what "scientists" invented to conform to their paradigm that the universe is billions of years old, yet somehow has comets orbiting the sun which can be no older than several thousand years.

Next word: Supralapsarianism

Here we go again with short words that come trippingly easy off the tongue.
My wife used this word at me last night, gee, if I could only place the insult into its proper context. Damn, I don't recall; I guess it'll have to be the old take-the-word-apart-and-hope-for-the-best method.

"Supra" means beyond, or outside, I think.

"Lapsus" means slip. Unless you mean "lapis" which means rock or stone, I think.

"Ism" means a system of sorts, I think.

Could it mean a system beyond slip-ups? Aha, "foolproof", in effect.

Good guess but no.

I admire your efforts at etymology though.

Medically speaking "supra" means above.

Lapis is again a rock term. So I'm going to say the word means an above ground rock formation/system.

Also props to rock star for getting my word

Yeah, I get the "supra" from my Physical Anthropology class of 1974 where we examined fossil hominid skulls' supraorbital tori (brow ridges).
I think though that the lapsus (slip) is at work, and not the lapis (rock), since the word goes from p to s without an intervening i.

It's beyond (supra) that I'm still thinkin'. This one sure ain't easy like my sister.

[L99SS]

I'm going out on a limb here, but is supralapsarianism attributable to the belief or school of thought in which something takes place beyond the control or constraints of time?

[Berean]

Sorry, no one has it yet.

Hint: It's a technical term regarding theology.

[The Stig]

The belief in that we live in a system controlled by a higher being?....This higher being may or may not be made out of rocks

Are you being facetious, or are you tracking that notion of silicon based sentient life that was first explored on the original Star Trek where these tunneling dudes were injured by a Federation mining consortium. Spock ironed (or stoned) things out with a mind meld (weld), and then Dr. McCoy smoothed (literally) things out with a mason's trowel turned surgeon's tool.

Of course I am off course; it seems we all are. Would you all agree that we have been posited a term we shall never get? And then, in order to re-start the game, might we ask Berean for a new term that is within our reach?

[Berean]

Go ahead and look it up and post the answer. Then you can reboot.
