Ductile
Drake Lake. Man, I was just thinking about words, and came to ponder on Wave Race 64. That was an amazing game. And an amazing train of thought. See, it started with Ductile (I'll explain that in a bit) which moved through to Drake, via Malleable. I think that connection came via Mandrake, the former name for a type of Linux. Drake Lake was a course in Wave Race, thus letting me ponder that game of years ago. And people wonder why I lose the game so often - so many different things can remind me of it.Anyway, I really like the word ductile. I remember I learned it together with 'malleable' when oing a project about Gold in primary school. But, whereas malleable is a word in somewhat common usage, I think ductile is pretty rare. So, I have decided to introduce it to the world.
Incidentally enough, my first paragraph was an example of ductility. I took one thought, and drew it out into an entire paragrpah, without even really going anywhere. There are some other possible meanings though. These are some I came up with.
- Someone who goes on and on about a point that has already been done to death. Including making the same joke again and again.
- One who drags out a simple process so that it takes for ever. Especially when going over irrelevant details that have already been dealt with or are blatantly obvious.
Fortunatly enough, cheese is also quite ductile, when melted at least. And, I guess it depends on the kind of cheese. Some cheese doesn't melt, it just burns. Other cheese melts in a stringy kind of way, and then other cheese melts very liquidy. Yay for cheese!
So, make sure you describe someone as 'ductile' today!

Duck duck duck duck duck duck duck duck duck duck duck duck duck duck.. So yeah... Ductile hey... like ducks obviously, coz all you talked about there was ducks. First Drake Lake, which I have no idea what it is, and then Malleable, which is kinda like Mallard... the Mallard drake is very pretty... but then again Most ducks are. Ducks are ductile.
