Penumbra Black Plague 

Possibly the best horror game on the planet working in five hours (unfortunately) of intelligent gameplay and brilliant story accompanied by a feeling of vulnerability as the only thing you can use is the ability to run from the skeletal monsters that _can and will kill you_. Lacking in some texture detail but excelling in every other aspect including but not limited to atmosphere, brilliant soundtrack, admirable voice acting, compelling story, very interactive physics, psychological destruction, and challenging puzzles, this game is simply amazing.
Penumbra Black Plague is the shit man.

Orator non penum 

(Latin) Literally, "the speaker has no penis." In rhetoric, an unanswerable comeback to a nominally male opponent who believes in the magical powers of the so-called "logical fallacies" to replace the missing member and thereby to "win" an "argument."
A: Sometimes I wonder if Shakira really is as good as people say she is.
B (triumphantly): Argumentum ad populum!
A: Well met, good sir. However: Orator non penum.
Audience: (Raucous laughter).

A has won the argument.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
