InfiniteNow Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 TARANTISM. :shrug: From: wordsmith.org This week's theme: There is a word for it. tarantism (TAR-uhn-tiz-uhm) noun An uncontrollable urge to dance. [After Taranto, a town in southern Italy where this phenomenon was experiencedduring the 15-17th centuries. It's not clear whether tarantism was the symptomof a spider's bite or its cure, or it may have been just a pretext to dodge aprohibition against dancing. The names of the dance tarantella and the spidertarantula are both derived from the same place.] Today's word in Visual Thesaurus: http://visualthesaurus.com/?w1=tarantism -Anu Garg (garg AT wordsmith.org) "The director is in a wild delirium, spinning in circles as though stricken with tarantism, his whirring camera held at arm's length, panning, tilting, arcing and oscillating and making other moves that have no name." Caelum Vatnsdal; Kino Delirium: The Films of Guy Maddin; Arbeiter Ring Publishing; 2000. Turtle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
