a Ph.D. Therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in me, I hereby confer upon you the honorary degree of ThD---That’s doctor of thinkology. "By virtue of the authority vested in me" is a fancy way to say "because of the power that I have been given…"/ "Hereby" is a connecting word meaning therefore or thus, and "to confer," in this case, means to officially give or transfer. Universities will often give "honorary degrees" to people for their accomplishments, even though they never actually went to school there. The sum of the square root of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining sides. Oh joy, rapture, I’ve got a brain! The "sum" is the result of two numbers multiplied together, while the "square root" of 64 is 8 (It’s easier to show than define!) An "icoceles triangle" is one in which two of the three sides are the same length. "Rapture" means great happiness or ecstasy. You are under the unfortunate delusion that simply because you run away from danger, you have no courage. A "delusion" is a strongly held belief that is in fact completely wrong. You’re confusing courage with wisdom. "Wisdom" is an important word meaning intelligence, as well as the quality of having good judgement and common sense. Once a year, they take their fortitude out of mothballs and parade it down the main street of the city. "Fortitude" is an educated word for mental strength or courage. "Mothballs" are small balls put in clothes that are hung in closets, to keep moths away. But they do have a medal, and therefore, for meritorious conduct, extraordinary valor and conspicuous bravery against wicked witches, I award you the triple cross. A "medal" is any type of metal with pictures or words on it, made to honor a person for their bravery or various accomplishments. "Meritorious conduct" refers to any worthy or deserving behavior or actions, while both "extraordinary valor and conspicuous bravery" are fancy words for great courage. "The Triple Cross" is a famous medal given to people for their bravery. Shucks folks, I’m speechless. "Shucks" is an old fashioned but still used way of expressing emotion such as embarrassment or surprise (similar to gosh or gee). "Folks" is an old-fashioned but still used word for people, or possibly parents. A person who is "speechless" is usually too emotional to be able to talk. As for you, my galvanized friend… This word means both covered with metal, and motivated into action! Where I come from, there are men who do nothing all day but do good deeds. "Good deeds" are little selfless acts that help other people. They have one thing you haven’t got, a testimonial. An official word for any type of written declaration that describes a person’s character. This is a small token of our esteem and affection
