Wow!   Rebarbative?   Philonoist?

(I had to look up both of those words!   I too am glad I learned them now, and I can't wait to start using them!)

However, due to your occasional tendency to amble over to the sesquipedalian word choice side of the road in your posts (as demonstrated here in this thread), perhaps you might kindly consider hooking those long, obscure words up to online dictionary definitions for those words, for those of us who are not erudite vocabularians like yourself.

For example, not long ago, I accidently brushed into the word "obambulate", and I was filled with sour, negative thoughts at first glance, but if you click on the definitional link I looked up and provided there for that word, you'll immediately see that that word is not some kind of disgusting obscenity referring to the ulotrichous, bloviating blatherskite who currently occupies the White House (for a couple more days), but has an entirely different meaning, completely unrelated to him.

(I know, I know -- look up the dang words in your perspicacious posts myself!)      :-)

Dang! That “obambulate” sure had me fooled! I was sure it must refer to a vain, petty man swanning about as if he were someone of importance.
