Alan, you are absolutely linguicious! That one actually made me light-headed.
I’ve had to discipline myself this weekend (and I don’t mean in a fun way). I’m cramming for exams, so have had to severely curtail my Piggs time. It’s been quite painful.
Sometimes I think you do this just to torture me. You brute.[/quote]
Eaves: “Linguicious”? Wow. That one wins “Word of the Week”. I was going to give it to BigGubment and his use of “evility” (to describe Monsanto), but yours is better. “Evility” is close to another fave of mine, “deviltry”, and it has an Austin Powers-esque ring to it, but “linguicious” is better. It is a tad bit suggestive (wholly unintentionally, I’m sure), but we can overlook that.
I do this to torture you? Nay! Perish the thought! And, honestly, why is THIS always about YOU?[/quote]
Duh?! Because it is. I may not be linguicious, but it *is* always about me.
Don’t argue with me on this point. I’m out of estrogen, and I have a gun.
As for “Word of the Week”, mmmmmmm, I don’t know. “Evility” approaches genius on so many levels. Has a real good visceral feel to it (I certainly feel the Austin Powers vibe), and one shivers in anticipation of the perplexed and questioning looks he/she will receive when employing this word in everyday conversation. Tough as this is on me, Alan, I think “evility” gets WoW, hands down.
You realize that, instead of studying, I’m going to be sitting here trying to dream up a sentence in which I can use both “evility” and “prelapsarian”.[/quote]
Eaves: Yeah! What the hell was I thinking?!? It IS all about you!
I think getting “evility” and “prelapsarian” into the same sentence may not be as tough as you think. Given that “prelapsarian” indicates a time before sin and “evility” is, well, “evility”, I think the juxtaposition lends itself well to a sentence construction featuring both.
To really add to the level of difficulty, I’d like to add “crepuscular” into the mix and see how you fare. That IS brutish, no?
