What Does Apolyton Mean?

[Dr.Oogkloot]

Does the word Apolyton mean anything (in Greek or any other language)? If so, what?

Emperor Oogkloot the Somewhat Acceptable

It's a lie! All lies! Lies!

*Mao gets dragged away by DarkolingosQ*

[Andz83]

some people say it means ultimate (FAQ)

but I heard other things...

[Empress]

To me Apolyton means fun

[Mao]

Empress has the right idea! We should all look to see what Apolyton means to each and every one of us.

[Mao]

NO no no!

I worked this out before:

A=without

poly=many

ton=unit of measurement (ton)

So Apolyton is "Without much weight" So Apolyton is all fluff and hollow.

[Andz83]

and you're a spammer, Mao!

and me too

It means rural.

A = without (as in a-theist, without belief in god)
Poly = many (as in polynomial, which is a mathetical thing, or polystyrene, a plastic)
Ton = town (common prefix, for example Princeton, town of princes)

A-poly-ton therefore means "without many towns", or "rural".

So, we visit the Rural Civilization Site (in English).

[The Brain]

A= Meaning nothing again

Poly= Meaning many

Ton= The state of being smart

So that mean we're a bunch of people devoid of being smart!

I thought we'd been though this before.

It is suppsed to mean ultimate i.e. last.

As in "Apolyton, civilization site" --> "last, civilization site"

Or in other words, it's the last place you'd look, for information on Civilization.

[Dr.Oogkloot]

OK thanks...I thought it would mean ultimate...
Perhaps this should be added to the FAQ? I didn't even know there was a history section.

[Mao]

Do people really even care that much about what it means?

[Krusty]

I always thought Apolyton was the angel of the abyss, called Abbadon in aramaic, it's in Revelations in some bibles
