do you mean transcendental or tangential? tangendental is not in the dictionary but may be a recent coining ...\n\ntranscendental means something that transcends and has been used with reference to meditation. maybe the other word you give is meant to be existential transcententalism??\n\ntangential means 'at a tangent to'

Without saying which tones are associated with each word, it could mean any one of a thousand things, most of them nonsense!\n\nIf I make a lot of guesses and also assume that "tao" is being used to mean Tao (the Chinese philosophy), which is actually written as "dao" in Pinyin, then\n\nWo3 mi4 dao4 fa3\n\nmeans something like "I seek the Tao way".  You need to be careful though, as \n\nWo3 mi3 dao4 fa3\n\ncould mean "I repress the Tao way".\n\nWhere did you see the phrase and can you get any more context?

You are not crazy... This is one of the original combinations of the words "learing" and "finding", which would mean to search for answers...  Before this form we had the word "lordigazing".

I'm not finding in my legal dictionary, nor in a general Dutch dictionary. Sorry.\n\nFor the record, the term "force majeure" is a French phrase that means "a superior force", and generally applies to situations outside one's control. In US and English common law, the term refers to natural disasters, riots, wars, and similar situations.\n\n{EDIT} If you mean "Ubermacht", as the later answer suggests, then the translation would basically be "excessive force".\n\nIt could be equivalent to "force majeure", or it might refer to excessive and inappropraite force, such as using a level of force beyond that required for self-defense. But if it is a legal term of art, then the literal translation may not be that helpful.

unambiguous is the most precise answer. words like exact and precise are not as good because they are, well, ambiguous.

Actually, it IS "flat as a flitter" just as asked in the question. It is a Southernism, which means very, very flat. And here's a source to document this, which also defines other southernisms such as "cotton pickin'" and "no bigger than a minute":\nhttp://www.baloolagoon.com/lands_end/southernisms.htm

It is the longest non-technical word word in the English language and means the act of calling something worthless or making something worthless by those means.  I honestly did know this word exsisted because I gave it as an answer to a question on here "What is the longest word?"  I didn't get best answer because the asker chose 'antidisestablishmentarianism', probally because he thought my answer of "floccinaucinihilipilification" was just made up. I took Latin at university for two years so yes, I could pronounce this word.

It's two words: totus elatus.\n\nElatus is the participle of the verb effero, which can mean to carry out or away, or to raise up.\nTotus means whole, complete, entire, all.\n\nSo the phrase, depending on context, could mean "completely raised up"  or "entirely carried away," or "entirely elevated," or a few other things, mostly in the same vein.

To me it means there are few absolutes in life, and "empty" is the most completely absolute. Anything more than empty would be an infinitely debatable measurement. There are no degrees of empty. Other absolutes I can think of are "never" and "always" (which happen to be words I've learned to not use during an argument with my husband).

Can you tell us the context in which you saw this word?  It is not coming up in any English dictionaries so might be a foreign word. Or perhaps it is misspelled?\n\nI definitely need more information

I only use the term in sarcasm.\n\nlike this place is so bourgie.......\n\nIn the US especially the term, really doesn't fit into our class system, as it was relevant to the historical past uses.\n\nthe meaning of true wealth has changed, as have the social divide.\n\nBourgeoisie should be reserved to a ironic adjective....\n\nlike the Target is the Tar Gje

I assume you mean beyond the paragraph or two that defines the word?  Try the link below.  Hope it's what you're looking for.

That question, presumably a first year college question in politics, is seriously flawed ... 'To what extent' implies a causual relationship and that would certainly be a contentious proposition. \n\nSecondly, what arrangements are you talking about, and what developments? It could be said, for arguments sake, that last month's elections is the only development in the last 20 years that could logically be ascribed the colonial era - after all, the Britons invented democracy and gave it away to its colonies. \n\nMuseveni being a dictator is a result of Museveni being a dictator and not colonial administration ...
