word of the day

in the search for les mot juste in a piece that camodidi is writing, he and i came across the word

coadunate

suddenly it became the exact word that we were looking for. it was indeed the perfect word for the situation.

the problem was that if he were to use it,

his readers would have no idea what he meant to say.

and we think it's really funny. not the word, but the situation. we say "coadunate" to mean everything now, especially if we're looking for words, and we giggle like idiots.

ah, nerd-dom

p.s. i am considering starting a crusade to save the subjunctive voice. don't forget the subjunctive, people! as it were...
