What's in a Name? Mucus is a great word, not only because it gives name to an important bodily function, but also because it is one of those words that simultaneously makes you
feel grossed out and giggly. Other words for this powerfully important human health tool include stime and phlegm Slang words for mucus include boogers and
snot. All of these words have the same giggle-power, simply from the combination of consonants and vowels. By the way, mucus is an old word, it's been around
since the mid-1600s and has roots back to Latin (mucere, to be moldy or musly) and Greek (myxa, mucus). While you may assume that words like snot and
boogers are relatively new slang terms, they are not Snot dates to 1560 and comes from an Old English word, gesnot, and has the same root as the word
shout. The word booger is not quite as old but has been in use since the 1890s

Read the excerpt below from "letter from birmingham jail" and then answer the question below: "my citing the creation of tension as part of the work of the nonviolent resister may sound rather shocking. but i must confess that i am not afraid of the word "tension." i have earnestly opposed violent tension, but there is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth. just as socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, so must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood." how does king's repetition of the term "tension" impact the meaning of the text? question 5 options: dr. king says that he is afraid of the word tension and he doesn't think it is necessary. dr. king repeats the word tension to explain how he sees the word as a negative force that discourages change. dr. king repeats the word tension unintentionally, and it doesn't impact the meaning of the text. dr. king repeats the word tension to support how he views the word tension as positive and growth-producing.
