A few days ago, I happened to chance upon a site that was giving away something that was unfamiliar to me. “Caméscopes Giveaway” the ad proclaimed. It was a part of a Christmas promotion that the site was doing.
It was the unfamiliar word Caméscopes that got my attention. With my limited knowledge of foreign languages I made a guess that it might be a German word of French. I don’t know why, there was something about the structure of the word that gave me such an impression.
I then made a wild guess on my mind on what a Caméscopes might be. Surely it was something valuable enough for it to be considered a give away prize. Judging from the word “scores” it may have something to do with magnification like a microscope or a telescope. I couldn’t figure out was “Camé” was though. Maybe something related to “camels”? I know it sounds stupid but, who knows? ”Camescope, a telescope that can be mounted on your camel! For those stargazers in the deserts!”
Camels never look directly at the camera. Emo jerks.
It was after a few minutes that I finally gave in and searched for its definition only to find that it was actually a french word meaning “Camcorders”. Lol!
The name's Pol and I'm a guy who really loves to talk and rant. In this blog, I mostly talk about technology, gadgets and the internet, but there are times when I also dabble in other stuff like art, movies, comics, and video games.
