LOL.

I was going to post, "Who else had to go look this word up?"

Etymology: Latin uxorius uxorious, uxorial, from uxor wife : excessively fond of or submissive to a wife

Sorry, I don't get it. Excessively fond or submissive to a wife?

Wow. Oh well. They say if you don't learn something everyday, your life is over.

I detest writers who use a thesaurus like they are 15 years old and trying to impress the English teacher they have such a crush on. I read Rick Atkinson's An Army at Dawn and used at least 100 words that 99% of his readers, myself included, had never heard of and which are never used in any regular conversation. It got incredibly irritating having to resort to the dictionary so often. And it was a real shame because his research appeared to be outstanding.

Dowd really wrote "pussy-whipped", but the editor changed it in the name of good taste.
