-eth

suffix

  • Middle English suffix that forms the third person singular indicative of verbs

    It means the same as he, she or it and to point out that the verb is talking about (he, she or it) and not something else.

    Counterexample: "He writes he is not writing now" In this case, the suffix -eth is very useful, as it can indicate that (he) is still writing. If the sentence was: "He writeth he is not writing now" Now, it is clear that he is still writing, if someone is talking to someone else this can be very useful in conversations.

  • an incredibly exciting event; a rush
    Going down Lombard Street on my skateboard was a total E-ticket!
    Comes from the days in Disneyland before the park shifted to a single-admission system. In the old days (i.e., 25 years ago) visitors purchased admission and then tickets for the various rides. Different tickets admitted you to different rides, with "A" tickets getting you a ride on the Main Street Trolley or admission to "Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln," while "E" tickets were reserved for the really, really cool rides (bobsleds, Space Mountain, etc.). Though the expression obviously began in Southern California, demographic shifting has pushed its use nationwide -- however, only among those about 35 years old and above, since, alas, people my children's age never had the thrill of experiencing a literal "E" ticket ride.
