Boni

[kenobi65]

As for myconid, I think it's simultaneously singular and plural. "There's a myconid over by the door, and three more myconid guarding the treasure chest".

I just decided that it could also be Irish. Mike O'Nid.

I said boni once when I was young and foolish. I'm still young and foolish, come to think of it but I learnt my lesson. I didn't know about octopodes though....

"Alright, here's the plan. We raze the county of Nid to stop the swarm of mushroom-people issuing forth!"

Anyway, yeah, I agree about 'gish', and especially about 'boni' (or even worse, 'bonii' *shudders*).[/i]

how about saying it like "boney-eye"?

'Malus'?

bonus -> a good man.
malus -> a bad man.

Since bonus is a positive modifier, some people use 'malus' to mean 'a negative modifier' - that is, a penalty.

This all, of course, leads me to think of using obscure 70s disco bands as encounters...

 

[Mycanid]

Well folks ... back from the mind meld and you are ALL wrong.

The plural for myconid is "trapezoid".

Erm ... don't ask me to explain. I'm not sure either. :\

Now THAT would be frightening....

Boney M is obscure?

They're probably the only 70s disco band I could name without looking something up...!

They never really hit in the U.S. for some reason. Other than Rasputin and Mary's Boy Child.

Good thing I was raised a Brit!
