Word of the day

[slobake]

Hey how about a word of the day thread where we can share our favorite words.
One of my all time favorites is 'fusty'. It means impaired by age or dampness : moldy
As in 'The fusty old curmudgeon yelled at us for walking on his lawn.'
Okay 'fusty old curmudgeon' is actually redundant but it sounds cool.

mine is Coprolite...which, basically, means a fossilized fece (or t*rd to our less discriminating members).

used in a sentence..."hey, coprolite, bring me another beer"

Sounds like the face of my old high school counseler. as in "Hey coprolite face, get me out of my first period class with that fusty old curmudgeon."

It depends on how fusty it is.

Alright.. here's mine... INTONATION.. yes, intonation. After playing bass for the better part of my existence i finally learned how to set my intonation today. AND the proper way to adjust a truss rod. I just never bothered before.

Dog + New trick = awesome.

Now my bass won't sound like a fusty piece of coprolite. Or FPOC as i will now refer to it.

I'm in school for electronics. Here's my recent favorite.

Quiescent: being still or at rest, in an inactive state. The quiescent current in an amplifier is that current drawn when the amplifier is "at rest" - i.e. not amplifying a signal, but supplied with power.

I have 3 favourite words: serendipity, loquacious and doing.

Yes, doing. Because it looks like it should rhyme with boing. As in the cartoon noise a spring makes. This has amused me for 3 decades.

I need to dig up my copies of the first two Carcass albums and get back to this thread...

As in

My word is Obfuscate - to hide an intended meaning in communication, making communication confusing, wilfully ambiguous, and harder to interpret

When telling the story, he obfuscated the information so as to confuse the audience.

Stunge. Used by my 3 year old a couple of weeks ago. The toilet was clogged and he said "are you going to stunge it down?" I said "stunge?" and he said "yeah, with the stunger!"

It's now my favourite "word."
