      Anything looks like this with 2 scopes is binocular, everything else is not. In Armenian everything is հեռադիտակ, even աստղադիտակ is a հեռադիտակ:

                Of course not. That's not how it's pronounced either. It's աթոմ. WA problems.

                  Ո՛չ այս անգամ ))) ։ Ճիշտ բառը «հյուլե» է։ Իսկ atomic bomb-ը՝ «հյուլեական ռումբ»։

                    Aww, I was actually going to go look it up later. Is bomb really roomb though? I feel guilty admitting this after criticizing the Hayastan tendency to just phonetically spell the English instead, but I've always just called it bomb (բոմբ).

                    Next word: Tolerance
                    As in - "How do we teach other Armenians to join us in the 21st century and demonstrate more tolerance of the LGBT community?"

                      Հաբերատարութիւն/համբերատարություն (hamperadarutiun/hamberatarutyun)

                      Tolerate could also be «հանդուրժել» but I can't turn that into a noun without guessing so f*ck it lol.

                      New words: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender

                      P.S. ռումբ is standard in Armenia but հյուլե is not. Armenia has gotten rid of հյուլե and now uses... ատոմ -______-
