Ca cahhhhhh phoe neeee.  C’mon say it with me.  Ca cahhhhhh phoe neeee.  See?  Doesn't that feel good to say?  Of course it does.<br /><br /><b>Sojourn:</b>  Oh sure one can stay for a day or two, or even a couple of months in one place, but it is much sexier to sojourn. Would you rather <i>stay</i> in Charleston, WV. for a week or <i>sojourn</i> in Charleston, WV. for a week?  I know that your answer is neither, but sojourning there is far more acceptable.<br /><br /><b>Epiphany:</b>  One of my favorite words EVAH!!  And no, I am not talking Epiphany in the sense of the three Wise Men showing up at Jeebus’ barnyard cradle.  I am speaking of the word as when one has a revelation out of the blue as to something that was not previously understood.  Kinda like me sitting on the toilet, and all of a sudden I realize, <i>“Hey!!  I just had an epiphany.  Maybe I shouldn't have eaten that fourth burrito!!”</i><br /><br /><b>Ubiquitous:</b>  I dig this this word and it reminds me of my days in High School taking Latin for three years. Uuch.  It means omnipresent, easily found, everywhere.  As an example…<i>“Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is ubiquitous; he <b>has stood</b> and <b>will continue</b> to stand before any and every God Damn TV camera that has or ever will exist.”</i><br /><br /><b>Foulard:</b>  It is pronounced foo-<i>lard</i> and it is a piece of clothing sewn of silk, typically a scarf or such, but…To me it is more delicate than that, and I have used the word in a poem before in which I described the snow-covered, winter landscape as being dressed in an ivory foulard.  It is a pretty word when one utters it softly.<br /><br /><b>Obsequious:</b>  I loooooove this word because it sounds like a regal compliment yet it is anything but. Obsequious is a fancy and descriptive word for an ass-kisser.  Oh Lord, I have used this word often in my many and varied places of employment.  Here’s the trick…with a smile, tell the co-workers whom you loathe, that you find them to be so damned obsequious and chances are they’ll smile back and say, <i>“Awwww, thanks!!”</i><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglmi6hWQO21tlUKiieoCBxa3eFfFXa6dpcfCcmuF9qEHhxxs-tLmKzi3uBOu2_jsiidyJIGjSYYeTXrfK0GF0cAApPHRT73nZNiHvj4Pdl_o3ug1tp7tiHsl00XANaJ_UaeXE86R-Ez6s/s1600/Sen.+Chuck+Schumer+Asshole+Ubiquitous.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglmi6hWQO21tlUKiieoCBxa3eFfFXa6dpcfCcmuF9qEHhxxs-tLmKzi3uBOu2_jsiidyJIGjSYYeTXrfK0GF0cAApPHRT73nZNiHvj4Pdl_o3ug1tp7tiHsl00XANaJ_UaeXE86R-Ez6s/s400/Sen.+Chuck+Schumer+Asshole+Ubiquitous.jpg" width="275" /></a><b>Bacon:</b>  My BFF/OSP Schmoop offered this one up, and seriously…When guys hear the word bacon they get a hard-on, and when women hear it, their nipples get hard.  It’s that simple.<br /><br /><b>Retard:</b>  Oh I’m sorry…are your sensibilities offended?  If they are, well…suck it, you retard.  I love this word because I use it a tad bit differently than its mainstream sense.  I use it to describe people who through no known medically diagnosed mental challenges, still go through life dumb as hell. Rude, stupid, and oafish folks without a sense of humor get the “retard” tag from me.<br /><br />And lastly…<br /><br />While it has often been said that people with lesser IQs and lack of a solid vocabulary cuss a lot, I beg to differ, because I have a pretty damn expansive vocabulary, and my uber-favorite word is…<br /><br /><b>Fuck:</b>  While it is primarily a verb, it can also be a noun and an adjective.  Verb:  I would like to <i>fuck</i> you.  Noun:  You are a stupid<i> fuck</i>.  Adjective:  You are a <i>fucking</i> moron.  See?  Fuck is a multi-faceted word, and I fucking love it.  And dig it…<br /><br />If you combine the word fuck with retard, you get another word which I adore…<i>Fucktard!!</i><br /><br />May the lexicon of life smile down upon you, my friends.<br /><br /><i>Cheers!!</i><br /><br /><i>Matt-Man</i><br /><i><a href="mailto:mattmaniws@ymail.com">mattmaniws@ymail.com</a></i><br /><i><a href="https://twitter.com/MattMan_IWS" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">@mattman_iws</span></a></i>   </div>
