I have a shocking and highly embarrassing question to ask. I fully expect to be ridiculed and berated and will surely feel like a complete ignorant fool.<\/p>\n

What does \u201cLudum Dare\u201d mean?<\/b><\/p>\n

Where did the term come from? What is the history? What language is it? Is it an acronym? A secret password? Latin?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve heard people prononouce it \u201cLoo-dum Dah-ray\u201d and also \u201cLuh-dum Dair\u201d, so the second part of my question is: how do you pronounce it?<\/p>","time":"August 18th, 2010 9:46 pm","title":"A shocking question!"}
