Pedo comes from the ancient Greek word pais, which means "child".

That's why children's doctors are called pediatricians.

Someone gave us a stack of magazine things called "The Sun." There are naked girls inside it. Is this the one I've heard of?

In the words of a British sketch that I can't find on youtube:
"The Sun readers? They don't care who runs the country so long as they have big titties."
I wouldn't put it past The Sun. They are people who are too stupid for the Daily Mail.

I didn't mean to look at the naked girls. I opened it to the wrong page to see what it was.

No the word is "paedo", "pedo" alternatively refers to feet, hence "pedometer" and "pedestrian".

No the word is "paedo", "pedo" alternatively refers to feet, hence "pedometer" and "pedestrian".

So it means a sexual attraction to feet?

 

[Dumanios]

In a way, yes.

In the commoner's tongue, no.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

I looked it up (I turned the safesearch on so I would not get bad pictures). Sexual attraction to feet is Podophilia.

I got the pais thing from the Wikitionary.

Also, I think it's only "ped" that refers to feet, hence, "bipedal".

 

[civplayah]

Do they know what the literal translation of "pedophilia" is? (Clue: it's not child molesting)

Love of feet. From ped, meaning feet, and phile, meaning one who loves.

EDIT: I see you've already answered it...

Would it be possible to sing a song if you had a hole in your head that is not there naturally?

If not, why would you sing that you did have a hole in your head and that someone is laughing at him. And it's not T.P. singing so that does not invoke that. I should know as the album credits are right in front of me

 

[civplayah]

What does a hole in your head have to do with singing?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

What does a hole in your head have to do with singing?

Well the lead singer who is not T.P. (the album credits are in front of me) is singing that he has a hole in his head.

 

[civplayah]

How deep?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

He doesn't say. He just says he would be better off dead (!)

 

[madviking]

Is this "Head Like A Hole" by Nine Inch Nails?
