| | | | | Hi,
The word that comes to my mind is lackadaisical .... and lethargic. |

Anyway, there is no plural. That simply wouldn't be cricket.

And, bliss. Paprika, also. As, in food. Really good food. I need to cook more with paprika. In fact, spice and herbs are one of my favorite words, in general. I have been in love with calamint. |

Very horrible two word phrase. Hope nobody had to say these words too much this summer.

My word for today (hoping it's not been posted already as I haven't read the whole thread it being too long, sorry) is *procrastination* (Why do it today when you can do it tomorrow...or never) |

| | Re: Word of Today Procrastination sucks. Apparently, though, some intelligent people need the stress of it in order to produce higher quality work. Still drives them insane.

A handful.
A mouthful, and mouthfeel.

Why is everyone rippin' on me today...
Noooooo.
People will infer what they want, obviously. But, no. Made me laugh, nonetheless.

I have been one for a while. Just realized I can't really pinpoint a good definition. A strange, umbrella term it is.
