The noisome screeches emitted from the lead singer of that rock band from Canada (who some claim is libertarian) are stygian.
To: ClearCase_guy; Louis Foxwell
Hmmmn.
Iffen the river could be crossed by very tall people who just walked over, would they be Stygiants in Stygia?
Or does that just stynt a bit too much?

So many cool bands wnet all faggy chasing “power ballads” and stuff.

Goood morning linguists.
Here is a word we all know and rarely use. Stygian, huh?
I can fix that for you.
To Day
Darkness, made the more profound,
By silence, whose husbanded sound,
Has stretched the firmament of stilled air,
Until it almost seems about to tear...
Then worn and tattered threadbare night,
Whose shivering stars have tithed their meager light,
Surrenders to a youthful sun to rouse up all the dew,
As elder brethren go to sleep, all blanketed in blue.

Puhleeze, it does not take a darkened soul to have contempt for darkened souls, though pity and mercy would be more worthy sentiments.

I would be good to Hagga, walk all over my new hagga, or, if Hindi, wipe the hagga off my butt and go about my day.

Darkness comes as a thief in the night or suddenly as a hawk attacking from the sky. Perfect.

He thought the indie rock band Stygian would become his anchor, butâlost in their own problemsâthey’re far from the family he sought.

A bit obtuse, but noteworthy if only to ascertain your own unique attributes.
