      oh forgot to answer this year is not..
      every 4 years like all answered so who is a Bissextile person?
      one that was born on the extra day, it’s some one that the real date of bearth comes only every 4 years.

    :mrgreen:

    No thist year is not Bissextile, you would have to be able to devide the year by 4, and get an even number, some of the Bissextile years are 2000, 2004, 2008, and the next Bissextile year is 2012. ;)

    Thankyou and Have a Grate day. ;)

    :mrgreen:

    As many of the comments indicate some continued confusion about the meaning of “bissextile”, I thought I’d clear things up a bit. According to Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary, bissextile means “containing or noting the extra day of leap year.” So, someone who is bissextile is one who observes the extra day in the leap year.

    If I’m wrong, please correct me.

    You’re hilarious, Marina! It’s impossible for YOU to be bissextile, but you’re funny nonetheless – hey!! nonetheless! Who came up with that word and how does that mean what that means? none + the + less – hmmm…. we should investigate!!! Is it also an idiom?

    What does the suffix -ide incite? I mean what does the suffix -ide add on to the end of words like homicide, insecticide, suicide, fluoride and with fluoride – is that like the killing of your teeth? Please expound.

      The suffix -cide indicates killing. Fluoride is from “fluor-” meaning fluorine, the element, and -ide, meaning acid. Like “oxide” is a combination of oxygen and acid. Usually -ide is attached to elements, like bromide, but there brom- probably derives from the Greek brōmos, meaning a stinky odor.

        I looked it up on dictionary.com and you’re right! Thank you for your input – so then fluouride wouldn’t have anything whatsoever to do with killing, but an element acid would it be? I’ve heard that flouride actually over time kills your teeth and gives you some kind of cancer or something of the like, but flourine doesn’t. I don’t know how that would play out scientifically, but I definately don’t want to brush my teeth that would give me cancer or anything like it. Thanks, Qermaq!

    Ok, so I am confused, was Marina born on February 29th, that’s why she’s “bisextile”? If so then that means she’s 28, not 27 as it says on her YouTube page? Or, is she not actually bisextile herself and was doing a “what am I” game with leap years?

    I mean, I understand what “bisextile” means, but how is Marina bisextile?

    As a confirmed bissextile, do you also enjoy metemptosis and proemptosis?

    Hola, there is one phrase that I have always heard, as well as everyone else I am sure, but there is only one individual that has ever given me a different perspective on it.

    The Phrase is “Spitten’ Image, or Spit ‘n’ Image.” Meaning: Someone that looks like or resembles someone else.

    I was told that this phrase is actually “Spirit and Image.” Meaning the same but more reasonable. To resemble someone else’s Spirit and Image.

    Larry Horn, Professor of Linguistics at Yale, suggests that “Spirit and Image” is wrong and “Spitten Image” is more accurate. Where an individual would come from the “spit” of another person either by salivation or ejaculation with reference to DNA.

    Can HotForWords investigate?

    Gracias,

    Roger
