It's one of my favorite words and oh so handy. The English language is just chock full of glorious words, which far too few English speakers and writers avail themselves of; sadly.

Let others fumble around and use less interesting language. Our side needs to use English to its fullest! :-)

Our elder son, a wise and wonderful young conservative used to read the dictionary for fun.

And for Christmas, he gave me a calendar called "Weird and Wonderful Words"......a couple of examples....

Sindonology - the study of the Shroud of Turin
Kenspeckle - a Scottish word meaning 'conspicuous' possibly from the Swedish.

Let's see......... the leftist nature of some of the 'true conservatives' on FR is kenspeckle. I LIKE it. :)

Or how about 'erinaceous'..........someone with the manners of a hedgehog. That one could be used around here, too. :)

OH, nopardons.........here's a word for us to use....

Jargogled........an obsolete word meaning 'confused.' LOL! I could use that a lot with some of the pseudo-cons I run into around here. :)
