The Moon is Waxing Gibbous (98% of Full)
What does "gibbous" mean? I assume that "waxing" would be an uncommon word for "growing", like "wachsen" in German, but what's gibbous?

@vaporeon_ just means to curve outward, apparently.
the etymology is kinda interesting:
Etymology
From Middle English gibbous, from Latin gibbus (“humped, hunched”)
the moon’s an old lady with a misshapen back i guess
