imbibition • \im-buh-BISH-un\ • noun
: the act or action of imbibing : the act or action of drinking or taking in liquid
the imbibition of the hub’s signature iced teas is a sure fire way in staying cool, and quite possibly looking cool as well.
Joseph Thomas James Hewlett was a 19th-century English curate and schoolmaster who supplemented his insufficient income by writing novels. In Parsons and Widows, in which the author disguises himself as “the Curate of Mosbury,” Hewlett provided us with the first known use of “imbibition” to refer to a person’s drinking, in the phrase “imbibition of a little strong beer.” Until then, “imbibition” had been used scientifically to refer to various processes of soaking and absorption, or figuratively, to the taking in of knowledge. (The word is still used scientifically today to refer to the taking up of fluid.) “Imbibition” traces back to Latin “imbibere,” a verb whose meaning “to drink in” includes absorption of liquids, consuming drink, and appropriating ideas.

spume • \SPYOOM\ • noun
frothy matter on liquids : foam, scum
The spume on magic island made me want to go to the mall instead
“Spume” is a word for froth or foam that has been a part of the English lexicon for more than 600 years. An early example is found in a 14th-century quotation from the English poet John Gower: “She set a cauldron on the fire … and let it boil in such a plight, till that she saw the spume [was] white.” “Spume” was borrowed from Anglo-French “espume” or “spume,” and can be traced further back to Latin “spuma.” “Spuma” is also akin to Old English “fām,” a word that is the ancestor of the modern English “foam,” a synonym of “spume.” Another relative of “spuma” is “pumex,” the Latin word for pumice, a volcanic rock with a somewhat foamy appearance that is formed from a rapidly cooling, frothy lava.

equanimity • \ee-kwuh-NIM-uh-tee\ • noun
*1 : evenness of mind especially under stress
2 : right disposition : balance
Even in the midst of midterms, she maintained a level of equanimity with a pen on one hand and a taro bubble tea on the other.
If you think “equanimity” looks like it has something to do with “equal,” you’ve guessed correctly. Both “equanimity” and “equal” are derived from “aequus,” a Latin adjective meaning “level” or “equal.” “Equanimity” comes from the combination of “aequus” and “animus” (“soul” or “mind”) in the Latin phrase “aequo animo,” which means “with even mind.” English speakers began using “equanimity” early in the 17th century with the now obsolete sense “fairness or justness of judgment,” which was in keeping with the meaning of the Latin phrase. “Equanimity” quickly came to suggest keeping a cool head under any sort of pressure, not merely when presented with a problem, and eventually it developed an extended sense for general balance and harmony.

acedia • \uh-SEE-dee-uh\ • noun
: apathy, boredom
There wasn’t a single available person I could text to resolve my acedia during today’s lecture.
“Acedia” comes from a combination of the negative prefix “a-” and the Greek noun “kēdos,” meaning “care, concern, or grief.” (The Greek word “akēdeia” became “acedia” in Late Latin, and that spelling was retained in English.) “Acedia” initially referred specifically to the “deadly sin” of sloth. It first appeared in print in English in 1607 describing ceremonies which could induce this sin in ministers and pastors, but that sense is now rare. “Acedia” now tends to be used more generally to simply imply a lack of interest or caring, although it sometimes still carries overtones of laziness.
This is one of the videos by Kutiman. He’s a dope artist that mashes different youtube videos together and makes music out of them. We didn’t believe it at first until we saw the credits of original video that you can click on. Absolutely amazing.
Ever play the game where you add “in bed” to the end of every fortune cookie sentence? nowadays you can say “blame the economy” for all your problems and it’ll have the same effect… can’t find a job? blame the economy… late for work? its the traffic of everyone looking for a job ergo the economy… girlfriend/boyfriend cheated on you? the person they cheated on has more money and swag than you ergo the economy… failed a test? you used a number 3 pencil instead of a 2 but the manufacturer was to cheap to put the label on… this goes on to blame the economy on everything. we hear it everyday.
However if you don’t know how we got here in the first place here’s a fun visual clip so you have a better understanding to blame life’s woes on…
