It used to refer to spiritual dances based on the word orgia Peter Pan has a line in the book quote:After a time he fell asleep, and some unsteady fairies had to climb over him on their way home from an orgy. which is pretty funny now

Asterix books misled me into thinking an orgy was just a wild party with lots of food. A gluttonous orgy being the defauly, rather than a sexual one.

The 1962 Swedish translation of Bilbo translates the dwarves stroking their beards as "runka", a word that originally meant shake or such. For basically anyone born since, it means masturbation and nothing else.

So like "orgy" in the sense of "an orgy of gluttony" evolving to mean just a feast Reminded me of how I heard on the news about someone who was accused of murdering someone with (per the newscaster) "a stiletto". I was like .... okay do you mean a stiletto heel? Or the dagger that the heel is named after? Of course they meant the heel

I had an argument with a high school teacher once after using "orgy of destruction" in a book review. She did pretty well in trying to get me to change my wording without once mentioning what she thought 'orgy' meant.

Every time someone said "that sucks" she'd start yelling "SUCKS WHAT EXACTLY???" One day one of the more wholesome and well-meaning kids responded "A GIANT JUICY PICKLE  " and got detention, but at least she never asked again.

Umm... there is no conclusive proof that the count is a vampire its true. what defines the vampire? drinking of blood. now the count von count has never been witnessed drinking blood. it is possible he has turned into a bat at some point but that just makes him a particularly gothy druid qed, not a vampire

It's possible he has turned into a bat at some point but that just makes him a particularly gothy druid. you might say he has fangs and lives in a castle. my cat has fangs and is not a vampire. Enya lives in a castle and is not a vampire. And again, no blood drinking. The Count is merely a druid with abnormally large property tax obligations.

If The Count is any kind of undead, I'd argue it's far more likely that he is a jiangshi, or Chinese vampire Consider the following traits: • Blue skin • Stiff joints (only ever movies one arm at a time) • Stuttery locomotion, hopping movements rather than a smooth walking gait • Obsessed with counting things None of these are common in western vampire stories, but all of them are quite often seen in Chinese depictions
