Word that look like their meaning

[I’m assume, Carl, that included in our vocabulary is the extended alphabet & symbols
of our ASCHII character set. After all, we do have single letter words, such as “a” in “a book,” Or “I” in “I am that I am” (haecceity asserted of God].

The Male & Female Symbols are these: http://timcourtois.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/male_female.jpg

But the numbers were for the ancient Greeks, Even and Odd (one was not a Number):

2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, …

Mathematics seems to have discover the Adam and Eve of Arithmetic: 0, 1 (zero & one);

Notice that they are also even & odd, female and male – yes, Eve comes before Adam.

So why not take explicit notice of the Vagina Zero: O (Capital letter o), and the Penis One: I (Capital letter i).

– oh mi God. I can’t believe it.

Is sexism the result of the fact that zero is nothing, but God is One; but gOd is also one.

Wherever “0” or “o” occurs we have the true Goddess,
but in the case of 1 or I we merely have “masculine” non-plurality.

Notice that a child is born out of a wOman, and that Man appears castrated
– shouldn’t he rather be Iman? Or iman. OK, so he’s always masculine in the first person singular “I” I’ll exlcaim it!
He even plays fiddle to Hymans..

The natural numbers now begin like so: 0, 1, 2, 3, ….

But 1 always wants to get inside of 0, or I wants to penetrate 0.

In the beginning Adam just wanted to copulate with eve by multiplying her like so:

1 x 0 = 0

but as you can plainly see in the above, it just left her flat.

Was it Satan who taught him that juxtaposition was also insufficient:

01 = 10 because it’s really 0 x 1 = 1 x 0 = 0 – the latter disguising the same result?

How long did it take him to learn that Eve required additional foreplay:

Or should I say that Eve required of Adam the foreplay of addition like so
to produce the result of pleasure, without knowing who the resulting one would really be:

0 + 1 = 1 + 0 = 1 (not zero! Erika).

But it was not until the 19th century when Peano conceived,

the Sneaky & Snaky Successor Operator S applied to Adam alone (being the 1st to master bating):

S(1) = 2 (an even, feminine daughter, but no son or Eve).

Not long thereafter Eve too (not two) realized that could do it alone
– with the great fringe benefit of creating him like so:

S(0) = 1 (a odd, masculine son, or Adam).

The moral of this story, is its conclusion, that 0 precedes 1 in our enumeration, as well as our binary system:

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …. & 0, 1, 10, 11, 100, 101, 110, 111, …

Onomatopoeia.

What other words should we add on this list? And how different are these words to your native language? Do share with us in the comments!

Every language has words that look and sound the same but mean different things. Russian is no exception: many Russian words have two or even more different meanings.

The most frequently cited examples of homonyms in the
Russian language are the words kosa (коса) and klyuch (ключ)

The word kosa means a braid and also, in another
meaning, a scythe. Hence the comic play on words in the expression devushka
s kosoi
(девушка с косой), which can mean both a young woman with braided
hair and the Grim Reaper. In addition, kosa also means a spit of land
sticking out into the sea.

Klyuch means a key that you
use to open and close the door but also a key to a cipher (klyuch ot shifra,
ключ от шифра), a clue, and a clef (e.g. a skripichny klyuch (скрипичный
ключ) is a treble clef). It also forms part of the Russian word for a spanner, gayechny klyuch (гаечный
ключ).

The adjective klyuchevoi (ключевой) is used in the same sense as
the English ‘key’ in key element, key player, key moment, etc. In a separate
meaning, a klyuch is also a spring, a source of clean, fresh, cool
water.

The word mat (мат) has three completely different
meanings. First, it is the chess term checkmate. Second, a mat, especially a
gym mat (gimnastichesky mat, гимнастический мат). Third, and most commonly
these days, it is foul language, swear words.

Under a new Russian law that came into effect on July 1, the
use of foul language is banned on television, in films, books, in the media, as
well as in the theater and other public performances. The boundaries of what
constitutes foul language are quite blurred (some words are considered more
acceptable than others).

The debate of what should fall under «the
banned» foul language has been going on for a long time. At present,
experts have concluded that the ban should cover four basic roots (rude names
for male and female genitals, sexual intercourse and a prostitute) and all of
their derivatives.

The word klass (класс) in Russian has approximately
the same wealth of meanings as «class» in English. In a school or
university, it means a classroom and a group of students who study together, as
well as the entire cohort of students in a particular grade.

In another sense,
it means a level of quality, as in first-class, second-class, third-class. In
yet another meaning, a class is a division of people in society according to
their social status, e.g. working class, middle class.

The word post (пост) has until recently been used in
two senses: the place where a soldier, guard or other person has been told to
remain (as in guard post, storozhevoi post (сторожевой пост), which
later evolved into meaning a position in a company or organization, usually one
that involves responsibility.

The other meaning of the word is religious: a
fast (the derivative verb is postitsya (поститься). In recent years, the
word post has developed a new meaning that is to do with the advent of
blogs and social network sites. It has even created a new verb, zapostit
(запостить), meaning to post something on the internet.

Another word that has acquired an additional meaning as a
result of borrowing from English is luk (лук). Traditionally, luk
had two distinct meanings in Russian: an onion and a bow (as in a bow and arrows).
Recently, in youth slang it has begun to be used in the sense of a person’s
looks.

The word val (вал) has even more meanings. It can
mean an earthen wall, hence the names of some old streets in Moscow, e.g. Zemlyanoi
Val (Земляной вал) or Koroviy Val (Коровий вал). At sea, a val is a big
wave (e.g. a famous painting by great Russian seascape artist Ivan Aivazovsky
is called Devyatiy Val (“Девятый вал»).

It also means a shaft, as
in a drive shaft. Finally, in economics, it means the gross output of a
company, an industry or a country as whole.
