There's the contrast between 'awesomeness' which means absolutely nothing due to overuse and 'apotheosis' which means absolutely cool as fuck.
(Ed: what is 'cool as fuck' supposed to mean?)
I find that one is fairly common as well and largely predicated on the thinking the 'gasm is the coolest thing which can possibly happen. That may be true if you didn't take delivery of a Harley on that day and I submit your ass will be on a motorcycle rather than (cough) applying it in some other way at that time.
Cadillac Man and I were talking the other day and I think I mentioned tangling on 'didactic' because I wasn't sure what it meant and I know better than to bluff. On review, I suspect I may have been charged with being didactic more than once over the life of Ithaka but the next offering was 'vicissitudes' since that one is a hummer, isn't it.
The word rolls off the tongue in a highly-satisfying way to describe the way things may roll all over the place with ultimate disregard for your planning, just as John Lennon predicted in what happens with your plans ... life happens.
(Ed: doesn't 'hummer' also mean ...?)
I think so, mate, but we really don't want to go trawling titillation, do we?
(Ed: well, that depends on the titillation)
Fair enough. I do anticipate titillation for many old goobers is a halfway decent bowel movement so some are lit by the idea of Charlize Theron and others get lit for effective digestive processes. It's evolution in action.
There are words we know which don't have any particular aesthetic value but we know the sound of 'bay con' means bacon and we want some. In a much more beautiful word, 'mellifluous' means 'pleasant to hear' which is all the more charming when so is the word to describe that state. It sounds good just floating in space and it's not like bacon but I think I might like something mellifuous even I don't know necessarily what it may mean.
(Ed: you aren't seriously going to start rattling off the dictionary, are you?)
Nah, as I'm old and would not remember it anyway. I can stuff any new word into my cranium as assiduously as I like ... but it's still going to run away faster than your dollars at a roulette wheel.
