In this video:

1. Sapiosexual is the scientific name for a person who is sexually attracted to people’s intelligence The first part of the word comes from the Latin “sapiens”, meaning “wise”. (QF 640)

2. A contronym is a word that can be its own opposite for example, “left” can mean to “depart” and “remain”. (QF 430)

3. You may have heard that “swag” comes from a 1960s acronym for “Secretly We Are Gay”. In fact, the noun, “swag”, dates back at least to the 14th century meaning “bulky bag”. It then morphed into meaning a “blustering fellow” by the late 16th century and by the late 18th century had come to mean “ornamental festoon” (festoon meaning some sort of adornment like flowers or ribbons and other decorations). (QF 664)

4. “Are you as bored as I am?” read backwards is the same sentiment, just one is introspective. (QF 624)

5. You may have heard that the longest English word in which all the letters are in alphabetical order with no letter repeated is “almost.” Well, almost. The actual winner is Aegilops, the name of a genus of flowering plants in the grass family, Poaceae. Aegilops comes from the Greek aegilos and in free translation means “an herb liked by goats.” (QF 716)

6. The name “taxi” is shortened from “taxicab”. So where did “taxicab” come from? It is derived from the two words: “taximeter” and “cabriolet”. The taximeter was invented in 1891 and is used to record distances and calculate the fare. Cabriolet refers to a horse drawn carriage where the driver stands in the back of the carriage. The name “taximeter” itself is derived from the Mid-Latin “taxa”, meaning “tax or charge”. The first documented use of the word “taxicab” was in March of 1907 in London. Another phrase that derived from taximeter was a “taxi dancer”, which was a woman who sold her services at dance halls.

7. “Hippopotamus” comes from the Greek “Hippo” meaning “horse” and “potamos”, meaning “river”, hence “river horse”. (QF 627)

8. Synesthesia (meaning literally “together sensation”) is a condition where when one sensory pathway is stimulated, a second pathway will also be automatically stimulated. In one form of this, for instance, someone might see the letter “a” and the brain interprets that letter as being colored red, even if it’s not. In another form, someone might see some particular thing that in turn causes them to hear a sound every time they see that thing. In yet another form, known as “mirror touch synesthesia”, when the person sees someone getting physically touched, they also feel as if someone is touching them in the exact same way. (QF 643)

9. The word “gorilla” comes from the Greek word Γόριλλαι (Gorillai), which was originally a word applied to an African tribe noted for having very hairy women, as recorded by Hanno during his travels along the coast of Africa in 500 BCE. The name was applied to the animal in 1847 by missionary Thomas Savage. (QF 714)

SUMMARY:
– Grown-up pleasers have difficulties saying no, establishing clear personal boundaries, and expressing their true feelings. In romantic relationships, they give their all to their partners, once again, doing everything they possibly can to make them happy.
– Avoiders are highly logical. They enjoy their space and almost never get emotional. Even more so, they feel really uncomfortable when someone else shows strong emotions. The main problem in their relationships is the absence of emotional connection.
– Vacillators strive to find the stable love they never received in their childhood and make one crucial mistake while doing it: They idealize their partner. Every time a vacillator falls in love, they jump into the relationship right away, thinking they’ve found their perfect soul mate.
– Controllers view the world from 2 perspectives: They’re either in control themselves or they’re being controlled by others. They don’t like stepping out of their comfort zone or expressing their emotions and vulnerability. The only feeling that isn’t weak is anger, so they prefer to use it as a weapon to remain in power.
– In their adult life, victims become very adaptable and prefer to go with the flow. They can be described as introverted, shy, and self-conscious. Of course, all this doesn’t help them in their romantic love at all. They have no idea what life is like without abuse and violence, so they tend to go for domineering, controlling, and even cruel partners.
