that's it that's the high that I've been chasing for ten years holy hell

Today I learned the word myrmidon

  1. noun, (capitalized) : a member of a legendary Thessalian people who accompanied their king Achilles in the Trojan War
  2. noun, (lowercased) a loyal follower, especially a subordinate who executes orders unquestioningly or unscrupulousl

Apparently the word history also has to do with legends of giant ant-people?
