illuminary 

1. Having the ability to make something visible or bright by shining light on it; light up. "The illuminary technology cut through the darkness like night-vision goggles."
2. Having the ability to help to clarify or explain. "The professor's illuminary lectures proved him to be more of a prophet than a mere educator."
You should use a more illuminary verb, such as "shined" or "glowed" because "shown" does not mean to light up.

tropical illuminati 

Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon or the Frequency Illusion phenomenon of noticing that Flamingos and Pineapples are everywhere and on everything (towels, cups, shirts, purses etc) and appear in pop culture (How I Met Your Mother) and in real life on a regular basis. A lot of the time the flamingos and pineapples will appear on the same object, but the tropical Illuminati effect is still valid if they are on separate objects.
Did you see that Ted woke up next to a pineapple on How I Met Your Mother? It's the Tropical Illuminati.

Word of the Day on August 25, 2026
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
