Does anyone know the word that means 'eager to fight'? I've heard it before, but I forgot.

'furious'? lol maybe there's a site on the internet that can help you..

On a side note, if you were to put it in a comic, would any of the readers know what it meant? :lol:

There are a few, actually:
Pugnacious
Bellicose
Combative
Quarrelsome

And no, I didn't look at a dictionary/thesaurus for any of those. :grin:

While we're on the subject of word meanings, I have a question of my own that has been bothering me for quite some time.

The seal for Cambridge University Press has the words: "Domimina Nustio Illumea." Any idea what it means? I'm guessing it's either Greek or Latin, if that helps.

It has to mean something...they wouldn't put it there otherwise.

cbwing0 said it already, but pugnacious was the first one that came to my mind. 'Belligerent', too, mebbe?

Belligerent works too. Isn't it interesting how we have so many words in English to describe someone who is "eager to fight?"

Oh, Ashley will be all over that one!

Good...I'm dying to know! :grin:

Are you sure that's spelled correctly? My best guess is
Domimina Nustio Illumea
"Our Master (i.e. Lord, it means God) of Light"

Thanks...that sounds right. I am fairly sure that it is spelled right, but I don't have one of the books in front of me.

Thanks. I love using big words on people. Especially when they say, "What? Speak English!"

agitated

enraged

infuriated

inflamed

irked

irritated

nettled

snappish

Actually, you can be irked, agitated and irritated without being eager to fight, as there can be a large difference 'twixt angry and scrapping. You can be eager to fight without being upset.

Icarus is right.

Yes, but I thought you were the quiet one, aren't you?

I know one, but it's from Kentucky and is very inappropriate.
