Axiomatic. It goes without saying.

But what does it mean

[Leeward]

How complex though?

Off the top of my head here's another one from mathematics.
Tangential (tan-zhen-shiall): something (e.g. a topic) initially related but going off in another direction; divergent.

[Contrast]

Tharn. Whenever an animal is frozen in fear (like a doe caught in a car's headlights), it is said to have "gone tharn". It's originally from Watership Down, but it's been used in various other works of fiction since then.

Crepuscular ray: the atmospheric behavior of light through clouds (see also Sun ray, God ray, sunbeam)

(Bad French in .gif form.)

Nope. I don't think it's really my place to explain why this is bad French. Maybe the native French speaker can enlighten us all. I'll just say that it should be "omelette au fromage".

Here's a word: malapropism. It is the term used to describe the incorrect use of a word in place of one that sounds similar.
For example, "I watched him dance the flamingo." (Flamenco); "Jesus healed the leopards." (Lepers)
I've heard some good ones in the past, but can't seem to recall any right now. XP

"Omelette du fromage" translates to "omelet of the cheese", or "cheese's omelet".
"Omelette au fromage" means "cheese omelet".

That's a lovely derangement of flowers!
Also one my dad made yesterday: in an orchestra, if the violins are so loud you can't hear the hobo...

I know it's bad French, but Raven loves her cartoon references, so I think she will excuse my French.

Don't trigger my hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia!

Hahaha, those are both wonderful. Also hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia is a fantastic word.

I had an absolute rip roar of a laugh at the Cape! It brought back all the memories of my favourite ginger boy genius...
