Where did you learn that word?

Now for bonus points - who knows what she was (mis-)quoting?

Beatrix Potter’s Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies (I think - definitely Beatrix Potter). That’s where I learned the word soporific.

I learned the word ‘copacetic’ on this board

“Copacetic” appears not once, but twice in James Ellroy’s The Black Dahlia. Somehow, I found that odd.

…I only learned the word “Apotheosis” a few years ago, from the title of a Babylon 5 episode. It’s the Greek equivalent of “deification”…

Quite so. Behold Brumidi’s “The Apotheosis of Washington,” from the inner dome of the U.S. Capitol, above the rotunda: http://z.about.com/d/godc/1/0/E/7/apotheosis.jpg
