Teach me a new word.
    #6853755 -

I would like to articulate myself better by using more eloquent words.. whenever I see a good word I always look it up and include it in my vocabulary from there on out..

What elegant words do you include in your everyday vocabulary.. Word, definition and an example would be nice..

Soon we'll all be eloquent linguists :grin:

Heres my suggestion:

Pernicious:

adjective

  1. Extremely destructive or harmful: baneful, deadly, malignant, noxious, pestilent, pestilential, virulent. See help/harm/harmless.
  2. Having the capability or effect of damaging irreparably: destructive, ruinous. See help/harm/harmless.

"DARE and other anti drug organisations spread propaganda and other pernicious fallacies"

felch


felch
to suck semen from the anus, and return it to mouth of the person being screwed. Editorial note, just because you see something defined here does not mean it is part of the standard behaviour repertoire of any significant number of gay men. Felching is not considered safe sex.

Schadenfreude is a German word meaning 'pleasure taken from someone else's misfortune.'

I like using that as much as I can. :evil:

Cromulent :thumbup:

Expression used to legitimize another expression of dubious existence. Used in the ironic sense in that it defends the questionable use of an illigitimate or slang word with another made-up expression. The intent of the phrase is generally used in conjunction with insults to high talkers, english majors and otherwise insufferable people who feel the need to correct others. Assumes common knowledge of the inherent Simpsons reference.

Republican Values:

1) You can't get married to your spouse who is the same sex as you.
2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child.
3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer.

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.

Obfuscate

-This verb doesn't have a specific meaning related to computing, though it does seem to apply to a lot of computer jargon. It means "to deliberately make something unclear or difficult to understand, by making use of unfamiliar terminology".

^
I obfuscate all the time using the word obfuscate. I'm so fucking smart.

Please keep me out of any mention of felching.

I usually only learn new words for Scrabble, so I rarely know what they mean. So I chose one of two letter words that I actually know the definition of.
