Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

No one’s going to say anything about “indefatigable”? Am I the only illiterate here that’s never heard of this word?
It's a really uncommon word. But hey, you get to be one of today's lucky 10,000.
Okay so it's actually pronounceable. According to google it goes like: in-dee-fa-tu-ga-bull
Well.... I guess I've never heard it spoken before lol
The stick guy in the second panel looks like he's bursting for a pish
I only know it thanks to the Camelot song from Holy Grail.
In war we're tough and able
Quite indefatigable
Between our quests we sequin vests and impersonate Clark Gable
I have to push the pram a lot.
Why in- and de- tho?
To me that sounds like she couldn’t have her fatigue reversed.
But, I wouldn’t be surprised if you were correct, language gonna language.
It's an old pigeon French use, if you're interested in that sort of thing it's etymology.
Namely there are several warships named indefatigable.

Dropping those etymonline links…. You’re making me hot

Hadn’t made my way onto this page (de-) before, makes more sense in this context with the upper interpretation than what I was thinking from the second paragraph.
I prefer unfatigable myself.
You can’t teeg grandma.
It's not as common now as it used to be, and even back then it wasn't really common, but it's kind of like the word "inauspicious." I had never heard anyone use the word before, but then I went to India and every English speaking Indian seemed to use the word regularly. It was weird.
But yeah, indefatigable is a word I've heard before, both spoken in older movies and in older books.
I'd put money on the nurse being a roleplayer / watcher. It's a character attribute you can have in DnD 5e and I believe pops up in a few other tabletop games, so like, golems/robots "don't get tired."
Also totally possible he just likes older media of course.
Hornblower?

I. Have. To. Push. The. Pram a loooooot.
my thought process was IN (no) and FATIGUE (tired) per context clues it seems like someone who doesnt get tired
idk the word tho
That is roughly what it means, yeah.
Yes
LOVELESS Yes, Mr. West, I'm sure a well- endowed blackamoor like yourself must find it absolutely impossible... that a freak like me could fully enjoy the pleasure of a woman. But having witnessed my use of mechinology so far... wouldn't you think I could provide myself with something for the lower half of my body that was hard-pumping and indefatigably steely?
It's a perfectly cromulent word!
Indubitably
I came here to see if anybody else had that as a wordly wise word in high school
What about "infantile indefatigability"?
That could be a silly little workplace game, everyone is told the WoTD in chat in the morning, and everyone just memes on it all day.
