Redeployment Is Not An Option

Big Word Wednesday

Alright friends and neighbors, this is the official announcement of our newest service to mankind.  We would never be so obtuse as to placate your insatiable yearning for verbiage of a sesquipedalian nature; much to your chagrin.

We know that people don’t really talk like that, but they used to!  And you still can, if your desire is to be beaten senseless at the car wash.  For those of you just wishing to learn some new words that you can use  occasionally, this is the place.  We’ll even link to dictionary dot com so you can see that we aren’t making them up.  Some of the words will stupefy you.  Others will make you say; “So THAT’S what that Euro-trash jerk meant!”, and still others will make your waiter or waitress think that with a vocabulary like that, you should certainly be a better tipper.

I know you’re thinking that all you really have to do is subscribe to Reader’s Digest for their “It pays to enrich your word power” section, and you would be correct.  To a point.  I promise you, we’ll list some words that I guarantee you would never grace the pages of RD.  Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good magazine, but ask yourself; “Have I really laughed out loud at any of the Life in these United States anecdotes lately?”  Besides, most of their stuff has moved to the Internet anyway.  Play it safe.  Stick with us.  Click on the page link above on the header bar to see the word for this week, or click here.

    I was just pondering the dismal makeover RD has been slowly giving itself last week, when I discovered that I don’t enjoy reading it as much as I did when I was a kid.

    (NukeDad) Yet another result of record oil prices.

    Where’s the pagelink you refer to? Or is this a “how do you keep an idiot in suspense” joke? Because I am in suspense and I feel like an idiot clicking on every word in this post. Damn, I am too easy.

    (NukeDad) Sorry BusyD, it’s at the top, by the header, it is it’s own page. Wow, that almost made sense.

    I’m commenting once more so people don’t think I am the world’s biggest (and blindest) idiot, and to point out (and thank you) for adding the hyperlink to the end of the post. :)

    (NukeDad) No problem BusyD. Sorry for the mix up. Now go eat your carrots.
