words in particular.

I have a good friend, the crazy romanian chick who is a language scholar (6 languages, professor of film and biology and just accepted into the phd program at USC to teach film, and who's best friend is a doctorate research scientist at Harvard) with whom I do word games;

We'll come across a word and feel DRIVEN to discern its origins in history; whether it's latin, germanic, etc; we'll call each other at any time of the day or night with the strangest, most obscure or complex words. We also have to discover its related usages and words stemming from.

Just a strange game.
