Ephemeron. Ephemeron. Ephemeron. Ephemeron. Ephemeron.

I like that word.

It just doesn't feel ... substantial though.

If you try to take something short-lived and make it more substantial, wouldn't that be an "Ephemeron-athon"?

Now there's a fun word!

εφημερον

I love the word and its meaning. I all seems εφημερα to me, today and always.

agro, as your amanuensis, I approve you liking this word.

carmina, it's all Greek to me. I'd pronounce it: you-new-pov. Derrrrr.

yes, speckly, that's how we all start pronouncing it!

but, don't greek letters look cute?! (Specklet, you of all people must appreciate that!!! ok, I am a litul biased...)

When I have kids, I'm going to have a boy and a girl. And I'm going to name my little girl Ephemeron, and I'm going to name my little boy Detritus.
