Waxing Gibbous.
What the hell kind of word is "gibbous" anyway?

Just because I'm born in Värmland it had to be full moon.

New moon. Exactly on the new moon.
I was learning about phases of the moon last semester of school, too.

Because the word protuberant wouldn't sound as silly.
Go blame Latin for that one.

Mine's was between the New Moon and Waxing Cresent, about two one day until it became a New Moon.
Sorry, Waxing Cresent in one day.

Waning crescent, almost a new moon. I remember looking this up a long time ago for reasons I don't care to explain. It's a nice phase of the moon, that waning crescent.
When my brother was a kid, he used to honestly believe that the crescent moon was God's toenail.
