“Acephalous†is a reference to someone or something without a leader (i.e. a figurative head). That means there’s a state of anarchy or chaos.
“Janiform†refers to someone who is duplicitous or backstabbing, since that person is “two-facedâ€.
“Labile†can refer to emotional instability, as well.
“Necrogenic†can be like a phoenix that rises from its own ashes. In biology, something that grows on dead matter applies, as well. This word doesn’t really have a deeper connotation, but it seemed an interesting allegory for rebirth or a resurrection.
“Psittacistic†means that one mindlessly repeats what he/she hears, like a parrot (which is a psittacine bird). This is a reference to people who mindless believe everything they hear, rather than searching for why something is the way that it is.
“Tautologic†refers to circular or redundant reasoning, meaning that a discussion with such a person doesn’t accomplish anything.
“Ultracrepidarian†refers to someone who thinks he/she is an expert in a certain area where that person is not - yet he/she volunteers opinions on that topic.
“Vegatal†figuratively refers to someone who just sits around doing nothing all the time.
From the moment I saw "Cavernicolous" on the Moods List, I knew that was the one for me.
(You have no idea how much our House feels like a Cave sometimes.)
BTW, Awesome Blog!
IMO, this should be visible to all new Members, so it can help them pick a Mood that fits their Personality and/or Lifestyle.
