Just visited the place for the first time in a while; thought others might like to have fun while donating:
Free Rice

One of the words I didn't know was sciamachy. Interestingly, when I clicked to hear the pronunciation, I heard SEE-a-mickey; yet Webster's New World College Dictionary shows it as see-AM-uh-kee.

I don't feel like running an actual Hogwash at the moment, but if anybody wants to hazard a guess, feel free, and if there are any I'll just post the def. in a few.

or, if you just want to click a link.

Been visiting here for a long time. However, they don't update all that often. But fun nevertheless.

I rather take a guess. It starts a bit Italic. Hm, something like the blend of a saw and a machete.
Or it has to do with screeming.

Oh! tsuwm, your link is to the definition; I was wondering why MY link to Free Rice wasn't good enough!

Now I've looked at tsuwm's link. Though wrong in my supposed origin, not a too bad guess on the whole. It's fun to make a guess, post it and then look. Recommended. Has an interesting etymology as well.

sciamachy:
[fr. Gk skia, shadow + mache, battle] /sye AM uh kee/
a futile battle with an imaginary foe; fighting with a shadow -- shadow-boxing, against an imaginary opponent in training for the ring, is a specialized form of sciamachy

the word following sciamachy:
sciapodous
having very large feet

shadow feet?

Sciopodes - A fabulous people of Libya ‘with immense feet which they used as sunshades’ (Liddell & Scott). Hence sciapodous a.
[OED2]

‘with immense feet which they used as sunshades’ What the heck?? Some story or myth, presumably?

For every myth there is an image.

And for every myth there is a Kernal of Truth.
