[Toliker]

agog

 

[seth gecko]

Superfluous.
That's a word that's not always easy to work into a conversation, except under exactly the right circumstances:
Me: "Hey Doctor, I'm feeling really crappy. Body aches, headache, coughing and wheezing, the works"
Doctor: "Mr. Gecko, you have a highly contagious form of the antibiotic-resistant H1N1 flu"
Me: "Hey doc, does that mean I'm superfluous?"

You just don't get those kinds of chitchat every day!

That's because the correct spelling is quief, like chief. Here's to next time.

Why????? To make yourself look more intellectually intelligent than others. Just wondering ???

sphincter

areola

urethra

 

[thirdcup]

To me, the more important thing is to be understood. That's why I never use a big word when a diminutive one will do.
And to all the trolls out there, where would you be if you weren't so pugnacious?

Intellectually intelligent is redundantly redundant. Just saying.
