Your RBR Word of the Day: antediluvian

by Todd on Jul 14, 2008 7:00 AM CDT in Word of the Day 4 comments

antediluvian \an-tih-duh-LOO-vee-uhn\, adjective:
1. Of or relating to the period before the Biblical flood.
2. Antiquated; from or belonging to a much earlier time.

noun:
1. One who lived before the Biblical flood.
2. A very old (or old-fashioned) person.

Having the team recite the "seven maxims" of General Neyland before each game, an antediluvian practice begun in the 1930s, is a cool tradition but, given the mediocre at best finishes over the past few years, you have to wonder if they are actually paying attention.

Antediluvian

Moby-Dick is the antediluvian Leviathan, having survived the great flood of the Old Testament. Captain Ahab blasphemes God by trying to kill Moby-Dick, the one creature that not even God himself could kill with the great flood.

You used the word "antediluvian" . . .

. . . and you didn’t make reference to me in the clever caption?

I think I’m insulted over my not having been insulted.

If you have a chance to take a cheap shot at the Vols...

...you have to take it. I think you’ll agree to that.
