Firefly Flailage

[xfirefly9x]

Word of the day: Sanguine
How you say it: SAYNG-gwihn
What it means: Confident, optimistic.
Where it came from: From the Latin word *sanguis* which means blood. It implied strength or vigor.

Zoe: You sanguine about the kinda reception we're apt to receive on an Alliance ship, Captain?
Mal: Absolutely. What's "sanguine" mean?
Zoe: Sanguine. Hopeful. Plus, point of interest, it also means "bloody".
Mal: Well, that pretty much covers all the options, don't it?
(Safe, Firefly)

There are so many brilliant quotes like this on Firefly. Joss is a master of language!

That makes me wanna watch the whole Firefly Series and then the movie. IF only there were time and I weren't too tired.

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

I know the feeling!

I think this show is one of the few where I find myself wanting to quote practically the whole thing.

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

I'll second that. I'm yet to come across a show more worthy of quoting.

Firefly is so quotable. :)



"Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled."

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Yup. :)
