Martin is a guy with the most advanced words among the members here. They are sometime so advanced that I have to look into my dictionary but unfortunately the dictionary sometimes refuse to translate them.

Everytime Martin is using his difficult words, I'm going to write down them here and if I forget what they mean I will go here and learn them again.
