Lyst comes from old Norse and has started to find its way into English as another word for lust, passion or desire.
Its usage is mostly by European songsmiths (such as ATB) who employ a fluid usage of language.
As such, most people will write "lyst" as "list", not realising they've used the wrong word. This is a common problem with older words, such as "tryst", as people assume spellings rather than check against meaning.

"Remember that wall
Where we used to hide
And the world seemed so dark and cold outside
Remember that field
Where we used to kiss
And the rain washed away our secret lyst"
lyrics from "Long Way Home" by ATB

Get the lyst mug.Lyssa X (noun): Lyssa X (also called "Lyssavirus X" or "Rabies X") refers to a mutation of Rabies with a much shorter incubation period of several days, as opposed to several weeks. Rabies, one of many similar viruses in the Lyssavirus Genus, is characterized by causing those infected to become highly aggressive, irrational, and unresponsive to attempts at communication. Other than its rapid onset, Lyssa X is otherwise identical to Rabies. Rabies is kept from rapidly spreading because it can take anywhere from 3 weeks to 2 years to affect it's host, but Lyssa X has overcome this limitation. The term Lyssa X was originally coined by OZORT, and is considered a fictional virus. It is also considered a zombie virus by zombie survivalist groups, as this mutation could very easily lead to a widespread zombie outbreak.
