Lately in the course of daily reading, I've been acquainted with some particularly delicious English adjectives. It has been my custom [A] to raise an eyebrow whilst typing in a dictionary search, then [B] to grin-smirk at the monitor for anywhere from 5 seconds to 25 ( t  being correlated inversely to the Credibility Factor of the proposed PIE root), before finally [C] filing under Things That Exist and getting on with my day.

And when I'm bored at work I'm gonna scout out a word that be Fun and Interesting ( forms thereof  duh), and I'm prolly gonna match the first letter to the day of the week because ¡alliteration! And I'm gonna invite you to do the same, whenever you have occasion.  ~ Angiepymyjew
