Melancholy. It just sounds so nice. It rolls off the tongue so well and it’s just a beautiful word.
Immanentize the eschaton. :)
A derogatory term for people who want to make things good. Yep, sounds like politics.
I dont understand a word you just said, boy
Overmorrow. No more of this “the day after tomorrow” nonsense.
And by extension, words like overWednesday, for the second Wednesday from now. Or overweek and overmonth.

I’m the sort of weirdo who uses all kinds of stilted vocabulary in not-terribly-formal situation. Just a few words that I use regularly that I remember getting shit for using:
- Ostensibly
- Indeed
- Escarpment
- Thrice
I do use “chagrin” not infrequently. I can’t think of a time when I’ve used the word “reify”, but it feels like the sort of word I’d use.
I had to look up escarpment. How do you regularly have the opportunity to use that word?
Last time I remember getting shit for using it, I was streaming on Twitch and randomly forgot the word “cliff”. Heh.
The viewers (all two of them, lol) responded with "indubitibly"s and the “like a sir” rage faces. Lol.
That was probably… 3 years ago? I’m sure I’ve used it at least a few times since then, but I can’t remember a specific time aside from talking about the aforementioned incident.
Pfftt… “Aforementioned.” Well la-di-da.
I use ostensibly a lot lately. Seems like an appropriate word for our times.
