Ph Vocabulary Words

Phalanx... how many of you got that from Percy Jackson? :P

Age of Empires :-)

google

I'm just smart.

You knew this intrinsically? You didn't learn it somewhere?

It's not that strange, kalbahamut. I was born knowing several words, including rochambeau, applesauce, masonry, purple, flaxen, hoary, codswallop, and the.

applesauce and purple are very common words.

Yes. My favorite.

Seriously, people, he didn't ask WHERE you got it, he asked IF you got it from Percy Jackson, which I halfway did, so technically, I am the only one who even belongs on this list.

the long list of people indicates the folly of his reasoning, that it's not just percy jackson, but any of a dozen other reasons to know phalanx

Perhaps, but the point is that he wanted to know who got it from Percy Jackson. He very well knew that it can be known from other places, but he wanted to know how many people got it where he did. There is no folly in his reasoning. There is, however, in yours.

are u serious

Macedonian phalanx~ Phillip & Alexander the Great

I got all of these and none of them because of Percy Jackson.

and I don't remember where I first heard phalanx. Maybe 6th grade history class. Maybe the first Civilization computer game.

Got stuck on Doctor--all that came to mind was Ph.D...

Me too! I felt so silly when I saw physician and didn't get it

yep phd and pharmacist (other endngs)

Aphrodisiac seems like a more viable answer than pheromone

no aphrodisiac is something (that you ingest) that makes you aroused. Pheromes are a natural thing and is (not so much in humans anymore) used in finding a mate, and can tell if they are suitable or not, so that healthy offspring s produced

Shouldn't phantasm work for the last one as well?

Agreed

I say it should. Phantasm is what I put in.

if you like this quiz check out the ''Words beginning with Ph....NEW!''

i knew the first letter of the greek alphabet was alpha, but for some reason i kept forgetting that it didn't have 2 start with ph

Not having read the instructions first, that was the one where it dawned on me that maybe the words don't necessarily start with ph.

It took me a few minutes to realize that "methamphetamine" isn't an opiate.

morphine either didnt cross my mind or somehow I thought it was written morfine (as in my language)

"Sycophant" is a good one. You should use that.

Sycophant, a person who obeys every whim of another, practically worshiping them. Also, sycophantic, which is the behavior of above person.

OI! Time Lord doesn't have Ph in it!

Galliphreyan, perhaps?

Is philosophy a love of wisdom? To quote Tina Turner, what's love got to do with it?

Yes it is. And I think it should count for 2 points because it has two ph's

With you Atkinson. Bit off an outlier definition?

Etymologically it is.

Phobia's An Extreme Fear

Phoenix Is The Capital Pf "Arizona" ('Arizona')<>?

Yes, I think typhoons are more in Japan and Philippines. In New Zealand they are called tropical cyclones.

I mixed up seraphim and nephilim and first tried sephilim (various spellings) then realized I meant nephilim, surprised it didnt work.

What is the difference between them? And nephilim wouldnt fit the clue? Was proud enough that I knew that difficult word, but the exact meaning and difference between classes I dont know ( and it changes drastically through the centuries,) eventhough I think I once looked up the etymology for some of them

apparently nephilim means the fallen ones, and seraphim means the burning ones or serpents. All sounds very angelic doesnt it ;) (I remembered as much, hence my previous comment that the meaning of the word took on a different direction through the ages, as it does with most words.) (Like lucifer means lightbringer but is now synonymous with evil and more associated with darkness)
