Words Nobody Has Ever Used to Describe Me

Here I present you, gentle readers, with another list for your consideration. Pending approval from the state legislature, whom I have written at great length, we at Discovering Dementia are pleased to announce that the first person to describe me with one of these adjectives will receive a handsome* prize, selected from a list** of fabulous prizes. Accordingly, anyone who knows what "Moribund" means should report to Merriam-Webster Co., Philadelphia, PA, 75115. Finally, we ask that, to prevent serious brain damage, readers not attempt to use all 10 of the following words in one sentence, although readers who submit said sentence will receive two of the amazing prizes.


1) Moribund

2) Contrarian

3) Obfuscating

4) Harmonious

5) Insouciant (I promise, this is the last post in which this word appears)

6) Flatulent (Oops, this snuck in from the list of words that are frequently used)

7) Somnolent

8) Garrulous

9) Corpulent

10) Gravelly

*List contains only two prizes.
