4. Quotidian.
No, you definitely cannot possibly pull off Sarah Palin this halloween, even as a hilarious juxtaposition/mockery. I don't know that she could pronounce the word, much less perceive its meaning (despite actually embodying it.

12. I need to find more opportunities to use it in everyday life.
"Gyrate", "juxtapose" and "lascivious" are also quite enjoyable as they roll off the tongue...

20. I have been fixated on the word pedantic for awhile now.
I love how it sounds exactly like what it is expressing.

25. I love "vapid."
Always have. I wish it meant something nicer so I could use it more often.

B-)

29. Vacuous is my favorite word lately.
Edited on Mon Sep-29-08 03:41 PM by Jamastiene
It seems to apply to a lot of people who do not want to ever have to think for themselves, people who are proud of their bigotry and stupidity. Of course, I am not thinking of anyone in particular, except maybe (insert "teeny bopper rock star who is proud to be a woman with no brain function" here). I really don't like those sorry excuses for women. They drag the rest of us down down down by being proud of their lack of character and intelligence.

A woman can be intelligent AND beautiful at the same time...LP is living proof of that. :thumbsup:
