word(s) of the week...

Lucky you! This week we have two lovely hand-made creations to choose from.

The first comes from the Professor. When used correctly you can almost smell the burning sage. the word is:
philosiful - (fill-oz-ee-full), adj. a) the feeling of being full of philosophy, b) speech that in some way seems way more important at the time than it indeed is, c) sage like in wisdom as it is particularly exercised in speech, d) an expression used by future burn-outs to express the shock of their own cleverness. EX: "Maaan, I'm so full of good ideas this week, I'm feeling so philosiful." Thanks Professor! When I make the movie of my life your character will be represented by an animated sleepy turtle who speaks in smoke rings and brews his own swamp-water.

The second word comes from an exhausted and frustrated Mama Rice. A long day at work brings this gem to life via satellite phone late Monday evening. the word is:
integredary - (en-te-grhi-dary), n. i think a) the abstract space occupied by a shared integrity, b) an undivided or unbroken completeness or totality, c) a marriage of the word integrity meaning wholeness and solidarity meaning union or fellowship arising from common responsibilities. EX: "I felt that he was questioning [our] integredary." As much as that was a total slip of the verbiage no doubt the result of a long day and too many Monster Energy Drinks, the word is actually pretty good, a shared sense of integrity isn't a bad thing. Thanks Tammy!

I encourage you all to use them in a sentence this week. Then get online, stalk out your junior high English teacher and let him/her know that they were right all along, "You gotta know the rules of the game before you can break 'em." And while your at it call up Berkeley for me and tell them thanks for nuthin! Just don't tell them where I am, they really want those over-due book fines paid.
