My tallism gets in the way of me dating some phenomenal people I think sometimes.

But for my tallism, I would have been infatuated with her. So what if I am an accountant?

tallism

Discrimination shown towards taller people. Usually in the sport of basketball by referees. This is also generally only seen in the lower ranks of the sport; elementary-high school. Generally led to more fouls being called on the tallest player on the court.

We need to create a petition to end Tallism, it's unfair that I've gotten 4 fouls this game but getting all ball on 3 of them.

The Talisman Effect

The name for the phenomenon in which if you were to bring a particular item with you somewhere, you won't end up needing it, but should you not bring it, you will need it.

"If I bring my umbrella, it probably won't rain. If I don't, it most certainly will. I guess its just the Talisman Effect at work."

talismonger

An occult practioner, usually a female, who offers her services and enchanted items to those who ask for help.

This word has been around for a while, but only seemed to have taken on a definite meaning in the RPG Shadowrun.

A perfect example of a Talismonger is 'Tia Dalma', the witch doctor from the 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest'.

Tallis

Tallis is a god damn name I have a friend named that. They usually has a few people in his life he doesn't trust. Tallis's are very funny people they have a good sense of humour. sometimes they can get annoying but then they just change the mood. If you become great friends with a Tallis, you can tell him your intrests he would maybe know about that stuff, because the Tallis I know basically just says yes to everything. Tallis's are genuinely great people so if you find one I would try to become friends with them but thats my opinion. Dont piss them off because they probably could crush you. forgot to mention they are usually strong.

hello tallis yeah i had nothing :)
