I'm never done learning English. Just when I think I've got a pretty good handle on my native tongue, I find myself in a conversation with someone wondering if we're still in English-mode.
Anyhow, here's some words I've learned in recent weeks:
PROAT noun
A combination of the word protein and oats, given to the name of the mixture of the two. Proats are made by mixing protein powder with a bowl of oatmeal and usually adding fruit, nuts or honey etc... (source: urban dictionary)
STEAMPUNK noun
Steampunk is a subgenre of speculative fiction, usually set in an anachronistic Victorian or quasi-Victorian alternate history setting. It could be described by the slogan "What the past would look like if the future had happened sooner." It includes fiction with science fiction, fantasy or horror themes.
