The last new words I had to learn were "apophatic" and "cataphatic". Apophatic knowledge is knowledge of God obtained by describing him in negative terms, and cataphatic knowledge is knowledge of God obtained by describing him in positive terms.

Please post all the new words you're learning and their definitions!

Storm is a turbulent condition of weather which involves, but not limited to, heavy rains, thunder and lightning, and strong wind
Steel is a composite material resulted from mixing carbon with various metallic ores, usually to strengthen its durability and rust resistance

Hope that helps my dude

so far there's billet, or lodging for troops; din--loud, discordant sounds; weir, a dam placed across a river or canal; and higgledy-piggledy which means hugger-mugger, topsy-turvy, or raggle-taggle.

for me it's Creighton
You get a better sense of German idiom on account Creighton doesn't really speak much German
