Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is threefold:
1) Read the words below, and select one or more to use in a comment that states something intelligent. (Not restricted to politics or religion, which sadly--but of necessity--has been our perpetual focus of late...)
2) Increase your vocabulary by learning new (seldom used) "weird" words in our language.
3) Start sneaking these words into your day-to-day life. (Or vote that a word be intentionally ignored??? But, please, tell us why you think so.) In an effort to strengthen the language, as Orwell recommended, we should strive to find the perfect words when communicating with others--instead of sloughing off responsibility and regurgitating an overused phrase out of sheer laziness.
Play on...I can't wait to see what all-ya'all come up with.
Humor allowed; nay! Even sought!
