Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted June 5, 2014 Super User Posted June 5, 2014 Convoluted. I love that word. It just rolls off the tongue. I've been making an effort to use it at least 15 times a day at work. In order to achieve this goal, I have taken to calling my superintendent a pompus, convoluted, (mentally challenged individual). I love the English language. Quote
Super User Raul Posted June 5, 2014 Super User Posted June 5, 2014 Pompous. Long Mike´s spirit made me do that correction. Quote

Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted June 5, 2014 Author Super User Posted June 5, 2014 My word of the month is "janky." I like that one too. I use it very frequently. Quote
Incognito Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 I like that one too. I use it very frequently. I probably use it at least 50 times a day. Also, you seem like a rather eccentric guy, and I'd like to hear what you think of the TA paper I wrote. The forum thread is titled Teacher Assistant. If you check it out that's be awesome. If you don't, I'll probably cry a little...Just joshing... 1 Quote

Incognito Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Comment. I'm about to read the paper in a few minutes. I'm expecting some sort of feedback. I don't care if it's good or bad. Just as long as you take a look at it... 1 Quote

Super User Fishing Rhino Posted June 6, 2014 Super User Posted June 6, 2014 Well now, here's next month's word for you, skuke. Internet search is an amazing thing. I've heard the word used to denote the summer tourists that arrive in town since the 1970s. Never heard it anywhere else. I know you'll like it. Found in the "Urban Dictionary. Turnip, at first glance might not seem to make sense as an antonym, until you realize that Westport is noted for the Westport/Macomber Turnip. Not as well known as the Vidalia Onion, but notable nonetheless. "A Macomber turnip is a local legend in Massachusetts.According to an honorary plaque on Main Road in Westport, Massachusetts, Aiden and Elihu Macomber returned from the Philadelphia Exposition of 1876 with a prized turnip seed in their pockets, which they planted in the fertile fields of their home town. The fruit of these seeds produced Pure Bristol White turnips that were descended from Swedish and Russian rutabagas and soon became famous from Boston to Providence.To this day, the turnip remains a symbol of local pride." 1. Skuke A bird that craps in another bird's nest. Found in Westport, MA, usually in the summer. Tends to migrate to Colorado in the winter.The antonym is Turnip. 2. Skuke Someone from out of town who visits as a tourist and leaves garbage wherever they go. They also think the place they are at belongs to them so they can do whatever they want. Quote
Super User Lund Explorer Posted June 6, 2014 Super User Posted June 6, 2014 Just so long as the word of the month is never Constipation. By the second week, I'm pretty sure that it would start to get a wee bit uncomfortable! Quote
