Not luscious.

zelda_pinwheel · 09-06-2008, 12:49 PM

however "bastiche" is a pretty funny word, i'm adding it to my repertoire (sometimes a little vulgarity is cathartic).

vivaldirules · 09-06-2008, 01:09 PM

Yay: cathartic. I like that one, Queen Zee, but rarely use it.

NatCh · 09-11-2008, 02:03 AM

Jay: excoriate ... I think it's pretty self-explanatory, actually: it means just what it sounds like it means.

Nay: Oh there are so many, but I'll go with "juxtapose" when the speaker means "diametrically opposed" -- they're not even remotely related!

Use the words in a sentence: Mark walked home in wet board-shorts from the beach, and thus, due to their natural juxtaposition, his inner thighs wore a red-hot Rorschach butterfly of inflamed excoriation.

(This sentence has been based on a true story. Names have been changed to protect the innocent)

Yeah -- I noticed that you changed the "c" to a "k". Good thing you kept your anonymity there!

NatCh · 09-11-2008, 07:22 PM

Perhaps that suggests that he's only 25% innocent (since he only changed 25% of the name, I mean ...)?

montsnmags · 09-11-2008, 08:12 PM

Shh, you lot! You'll spoil my supersecret superhero identity. By day, gentle and serious retired manager of IT projects; by night, silly underpants-wearing-on-head fighter of crimes against humanity and copyright violations...they call me....

SKIDMARK!

(Now with extra innocence, an average serve providing 25% of your daily moral fibre requirements to keep you regular)

Cheers,
MarK (SHHHH!!!)

SKIDMARK's uniform has a pair of tread marks running diagonally across the chest, I hope? What is the base color - red? blue? purple, even?

Let's just hope they're tread marks (is what I would have said, but pshrynk got in first with the better and more succinct line).

Cheers,
(Mild-mannered) Marc

Antidisestablishmentarianism.

Qualifies as both: jay, it's the longest word in the English language, and requires multiple readings to parse; nay, it's a real pain in the sitter-downer to spell ... and requires multiple readings to parse.

Well, it's a very weighty word, so could qualify under some circumstances as a stone.

What's the longest word in French?
