The word which is closest in the dictionary to my name:
Daven. verb. 1. To recite a prayer. 2. To rock too and fro (as if praying.)
Have you ever noticed how some very smart mathematicians daven when they are excitedly talking about research?
O brave new quantum world!
That’s an interesting observation. I rock (ahem) when I talk about mathematics. I try very hard not to do it during talks, mostly unsuccessfully.
I know a few physicists who daven while listening to Infected Mushroom. . . .
My name’s in the dictionary, too.
And if you convert your prayer from one faith to another, is that a…daven port??
