11/20/06
1) perpetuate
2) mediate
3) squirmy
4) opsimath
5) schadenfreude (in reference to people I don’t know, of course)
6) apeirophobia
7) zaftig
8) compadre
9) hypermnesia (as in my own, wishfully)
10) nugatory
11) hoi polloi
12) schicki-micki
Dude I don’t know what some of those words mean and I used to be called the Word girl. I laud your conversational intentions though.
I will now be using apeirophobia every week during Doctor Who.
Nugatory…is that some kind of purgatory where you would have to hang out with Ted Nugent into infinity (ohh, the horrrrrorrrr….)
