More words of the day
03.31.05 (8:20 am)   [edit]

Usually my word-definition subscription service is quite mundane, but lately it's gotten much more enlightening...:


luculent LOO-kyuh-luhnt, adjective:
   Clear; easily understood.

sapid
SAP-id, adjective:
   1. Having taste or flavor, especially having a strong pleasant
   flavor.
   2. Agreeable to the mind; to one's liking.

contemn
kuhn-TEM, transitive verb:
   To  regard  or  treat  with  disdain or contempt; to scorn; to
   despise.

aliment
AL-uh-muhnt, noun:
   1. Something that nourishes or feeds; nutriment.
   2.   Something   that  sustains  a  state  of  mind  or  body;
   sustenance.

temporize TEM-puh-ryz, intransitive verb:
   1.  To be indecisive or evasive in order to gain time or delay
   action.
   2. To comply with the time or occasion; to yield to prevailing
   opinion or circumstances.

   4. To come to terms (usually followed by 'with').

magniloquent

Sooo......500 tbucks or a 'Woot Woot' to the first magniloquent blogger to use them all in a reasonably luculent sentence.  On your mark, get set, ... no temporizing!!!...GO!

luculently, you are sapid to me, but please don't contemn my problems, neither temporize my blight, instead, give me aliment and speak to me in magniloquent tones.

Being sapid, people luclulently contemn my magniloquent personality temporized with my zest for life and aliment need for attention.

I think that loud THUD was my former English professor rolling over in his grave, LOL.

Ok, I really tried, but I was giving myself a headache! Let's see your sentence! And, did you get these words from LynnKramer's dictionary?

I have a daily e-mail. Often the words are either garden-variety or just plan un-interesting. But lately they've been kind of fun. Hmmm, I suppose I could try my hand at one. I thought I was s'posed to be the moderator, though....

A lucelent sentence for my sapid readers is not easy, and I've no wish to contemn them with magniloquent phrases, yet my temporizing has ended and I send this aliment as my humble offering.

I like your sentence! Especially the last part, starting with your magniloquent personality!! :oD

You may be the moderator, but you also have to participate! It's more funner that way! (Bad grammar intentional for your amusement!)

Great sentence by the way! Good thing you told us what all those words mean, or I might be scared!

There was a time when I found magniloquent writing luculent and considered it sapid and somewhat of an aliment, though having recently been exposed to bombastic individuals with a penchant for temporizing, I’ve since contemned such writing as it seems characteristic of people fugacious in commitment, lumpen in society and as useful as a Furbelow; in fact, such writing has me finding the idea of a cabal a rather copacetic notion.

It’s enough to make my dead hizzy…

made perfect sense as long as we all had our definitions handy. perhaps i'll come back and "translate" it to an easy to understand fashion later.... :oD
