ETYMOLOGY. After Alastor, a deity or spirit of vengeance in Greek mythology. The name is apparently from Greek a- (not) + lathein (to forget), alluding to this deity’s role in ensuring that the members of a family remember acts of vengeance and commit fresh crimes, thus perpetuating the cycle of bloodshed (think Romeo & Juliet’s families). Earliest documented use: 1603. ___________________________ ATLAS' TOR - the hill on which the Titan stood with the world on his shoulders ALA STORE - place to buy your wings ALAS...TORY - Not a popular position in pre-Revolutionary War Boston Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Entire Thread Subject Posted By Posted Mensopause VII wofahulicodoc 01/29/24 04:27 PM THEOPHOBIC - My God, but I'm afraid of him! wofahulicodoc 01/31/24 05:56 PM EXPHRASIS - no longer phrastic wofahulicodoc 01/31/24 06:06 PM DI-EGRETIC - like two long-legged wading birds wofahulicodoc 02/03/24 12:33 AM ESTER-WEEK - convention of pefrume chemists wofahulicodoc 02/03/24 12:52 AM Don't make a Federal case out of it! wofahulicodoc 02/08/24 02:54 AM GRAVE TRAIN - railroad to the cemetery wofahulicodoc 02/08/24 03:06 AM SCOLD TURKEY - Get off my lawn!
