"perspicacious "
Ah, one of my favorite words. I always use it at business meetings, because most epeopl don't know what it means.

ah, a fellow linguistic antiquarian! excellent.
have ye yet had the joy of belabouring the gibbering idiots of the popular culture with the fact that the word "art" means "skill" - and has for two and a half millenia? Such joy to be had, as this allows the dismissal of nearly all modern and postmodern works as crap. It drives the drooling imbeciles quite dotty.
