    if it'll get me points. It's essentially the adverb of being frivolous, or joking / playful. Understand?

    thats fine i got a friend that loves bigger words and that is one of hie more common words either way i just wanted credit for finding it hadean can have the other half of the minerals if his definition is correct.

    BTW sarcastic is a synonym for one of the definitions of facetious. (i just looked it up on dictionary.com)

    all right i guess you may be right but that doesent mean much only if it shows on the main page is it a true synonym it have like 50 different ones if you go to thesaurus

    if you look mickey mouse is also a synonym.
    oh and also einstien
    just because its a synonym doesent mean its a defenition, i asked for definition.

    Ferociously- something horrible/ scary

    i can't think of anything else since LordKerwyn said 'Facetiously'

    Jesus tweak, just take it as it is man. And the dictionary is completely fucking based off of using synonyms to give a definition. But if you need a better def, then like is aid before. Being facetious is another means to say joke or not serious, facetiously can be used to explain that you werent serious about something, you were joking.

    So you could say "Wow, you actually fought a dinosaur?" "I was being facetious you idiot." or "How come you said Starcraft two was gonna suck nuts?" "I was speaking facetiously."

    guys i really dont care i just love puzzles and im thankful there is something like this thread on these forums and here is a riddle that from a somewhat common book so please sont go looking it up (i know i cant stop you but it does make it more interesting)
    250 minerals to anyone who gives the answer.

    This, thing all things devours:
    Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
    Gnaws iron, bites steel;
    Grinds hard stones to meal;
    Slays king, ruins town,
    And beats high mountain down.

    I believe it is from LOTR but the answer is time

    Edit: It definitely is from LOTR. I think the fellowship or the hobbit, im leaning towards the hobbit.
