ad nauseum

[yllai]

where can i get info about ad nauseum

[pmkpmk]

There's such things as search engines. Gives quite a lot of hits for this query...

On a sidenote: Google's stemming/spelling checker obviously doesn't know Latin. It has NOT suggested "Did you mean 'ad nauseam'?" to me :-)

[yllai]

yes. I mean "ad nauseum".

[Leosghost]

Google doesn't speak "latin" ..

strangely enough does speak "pig latin"

does speak "geek" but not "ancient geek"...

The day it speaks "Unwin" will be the one .. :))

it is an adverb meaning to an excessive or disgusting degree or to the point of causing illness.

The Concise Oxford dictionary speaks Latin! It stems from the word nausea and is often used in a sentence referencing a boring speaker or writer.

The man goes on and on, ad nauseum! :)

pmkpmk suggested the right spelling: it's ad nauseam, not ad nauseum ;-)

for latin lovers:
nausea, nausea, nauseae, nauseae, nauseam, nausea

[Liane]

Tombola,

Your correct of course ... ad nauseam, it is. Just overlooked the spelling.

<<Your correct of course ... ad nauseam, it is. Just overlooked the spelling.>>

Better..

You're correct of course ... ad nauseam, it is. Just overlooked the spelling.

Being pedantic ...( to avoid starting work this morning ) :))

Ps.."ad" (something which separates "google" from "words")............( and is for a small word becoming larger and larger in its effect )....

will attempt to stay on topic ..OH lord some days its just so ..............

your ad is just an abbreviation for advertisement, while the latin ad simply means "to".

Ever noticed a word that means something short(er) uses twelve letters itself? Strange...
