Chalice/Diesel

Last edition, I dug in the land of the junior mysterious language. Since learning only two of their words is not enough to understand, we are going to look more in depth. These terms are both actual words with modified definitions. They are both kind of abnormal words, so it kind of just sounds cool to hear some of the juniors using them. Again, if my definitions are still confusing to you, then proceed to ask junior boys Christopher Belling or sir Brandan Walz.

The dictionary.com definition of Chalice is a large cup or goblet, typically used for drinking wine.

The dictionary.com definition of Diesel is an internal combustion engine in which heat produced by the compression of air in the cylinder is used to ignite the fuel.

It is quite common you might hear a combination of the following words with sayce and Keith…

Example: Diesel-Keith, Kieseled (Keith and diesel combined for a large hit)
