The word of the day is "apotropaic."

davidschroth says it *is* a cool word, and you should all look it up, and I should encourage you to do so.

No, the word of the day is "broadband."

K.

That *is* a cool word.

You really should have encouraged people to look it up.

Heck with the word; I want the ability.

My friend J (a professor of Italian and the person with whom I go to cons) has an apotropaic umbrella: when she carries it, it doesn't rain.

Oh, that word is SO cool.

And, amazingly enough, useful, as you said.

Thanks for sharing it.

You know you're a geek when ...

So, Ok, I'm running a Nobilis game, and we have characters that are the Powers of Luck and Folktales, and I'm trying to figure out how to tie them in with the plot of the Power of Rot (who's currently involved with the Power of Salt...)

And the answer is right here where David put it: apotropaic!

Plot ideas are now fomenting in my mind, or maybe that's fermenting, since Rot is in the picture...
