Cool, I didn't know that. Thanks for posting on this thread. Right now I have to get some zzzzzssss. Have a good Monday.

Behooves, correct or affirmative instead of yes, discombobulated, hamajang (Hawaiian pidgin English for discombobulated), nefarious, whateva, combustible, probably lots more.

"Quark." James Joyce coined it, and were it not for the whimsy of particle physicists it would have been long forgotten. (I mean, come on...has anyone REALLY read Finnegan's Wake?)

I mean, just say it aloud to yourself: "Quark. Quark. Quark, quark, quark-quark-quark!"

There's a Calvin & Hobbes comic on it, in fact; which might be the first time I ever heard the word.

I used the word "combustible" just last night describing to my coworkers of what I was going to be after eating my dinner of chili (with extra beans) and an extra large carbonated beverage. One poor soul still didn't understand what I was meaning until I said, "Bring out the peppermint oil and hide all sources of fire starters!" (Need I say more? What a doofus.)

magnanimous-having or showing a generous and kind nature

Obliquity-deviation from moral rectitude or sound thinking, indirectness or deliberate obscurity of speech or conduct.
