word of the day
just watching the original superman (1978) and at the start of the film when Durel +wifey puts Kalel (superman) in the crystal spaceship he uses the
word 'BEQUEATH'
his words 'all that i am, all that i have, i bequeath you my son'
never heard that word before, though this might be an oppotunity to explore some other wierd and wonderful words that us common folk use on a regular
basis.............

Wibble!

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

Pre-emptive. Always confuses a few people that does.

I use rather too many to be honest, but how about:
Epiphany in it's non-religious meaning.
I did once use Floccinaucinihilipilification in a meeting, but it loses it's impact if you then have to explain to everyone present what the
hell you're saying.

I really like the joke 'is it solipsistic in here or is it just me', but explaining it to people rapidly gets boring (and makes me look
like even more of a geek than usual)
