Ticket 2 Ride

The world of language is fascinating to me. The interesting thing about language is that it constantly evolves. New words join, others simply fade away from use.

Never is such a hard word. An absolute. Let me rephrase, it’s unlikely that I will have reason to use the following 10 words – but who knows.

Idiosyncratic – unique to an individual. I can think of many words, some even printable I might use instead.

Doomscrolling – is consuming a lot of really bad online in one session. Certainly not without a cocktail or two.

Contumacious – stubborn or willfully disobedient. Sounds like something done in the bedroom.

Athleisure – a term for athletic clothing that is also quite fashionable. The word is dumb, but I like the concept.

Munificent – overly generous for the situation. That word not likely to be used to describe me.

Quotidian – a daily habit or occurrence. Why not just say daily? No need to be snooty.

Lugubrious – sad or sorrowful.

Hootenanny – only if my last name was Clampett.

Obdurate – refusing to change one’s opinion. Sounds like a fighting word.

Deipnosophist – a person good at table talk. Not me. I’m challenged to display good table manners.

Bonus word:

Floccinaucinihilipilification – the habit of assuming something is worthless.
