Lobsters are red.
Some snails are grey.

Octopi can be lots of colours.
(I helped save b3ta! Bats, Sat 28 Jul 2007, 12:58, archived)
lobsters are grey before they're cooked
so make a partially boiled lobster!

greek origin therefor
octopodaes
(Flobby Boris is returned to /talk from the northern wastes., Sat 28 Jul 2007, 13:08, archived)
In Greek.
Octopuses, in English.

(Flobby Boris is returned to /talk from the northern wastes., Sat 28 Jul 2007, 13:25, archived)
its octopii
i know this
*knows*
(I helped save b3ta! minimum fuss - an all time favourite, Sat 28 Jul 2007, 13:29, archived)
You know wrong, then.
It comes from Greek. The plural has never been octopi in any language.
(I helped save b3ta! Newington, Sat 28 Jul 2007, 13:30, archived)
i use the word octopii
i will continue to use that word

you word nazi
(I helped save b3ta! minimum fuss - an all time favourite, Sat 28 Jul 2007, 13:32, archived)
I hate to break it to you, but the greeks never invented octpusses.

Fowler says it's octopuses.
Everyone else can fuck off.
(I helped save b3ta! Newington, Sat 28 Jul 2007, 13:38, archived)
What's Latin for "octopus?"
I assume the Romans were aware of them- especially if the Greeks were.
(I helped save b3ta! Lord Gnome, Sat 28 Jul 2007, 13:28, archived)
The word is greek in origin "8 legs" it means.
Not latin.
(Flobby Boris is returned to /talk from the northern wastes., Sat 28 Jul 2007, 13:29, archived)
That wasn't what I asked.
I am fully aware of that, hence why I asked what the Latin word was.
(I helped save b3ta! Lord Gnome, Sat 28 Jul 2007, 13:34, archived)
I don't know what it is, I figure its the same.
Surely its irrevelent though since if its the same it would well... be the same. And if its different then we wouldn't be any closer to finding the plural of the greek word we use.
(Flobby Boris is returned to /talk from the northern wastes., Sat 28 Jul 2007, 13:38, archived)
The ancient Greeks don't have to have been aware of them for the word to be formed from Greek components.
I don't know if they were.
(I helped save b3ta! Newington, Sat 28 Jul 2007, 13:31, archived)
Given that
They are regularly eaten in the Mediterranean I would have thought the Greeks and Romans would have been aware of them.

[Edit] From this Minoan jar and this Roman mosaic I think I can conclude that both civilisations probably were aware of them.

you're taking this much too seriously

(I helped save b3ta! minimum fuss - an all time favourite, Sat 28 Jul 2007, 13:41, archived)
Possibly
I'm just intrigued that we use a Latinised Greek word and wondered what word the Romans used.

Stabby swords, pointed sticks, bath houses and colloseumses
