Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for June 14, 2015

I wish more kids liked words this much, we would be dealing with a lot less acronyms. #yolo #wtf #lol

Plinth. Plinth. Plinth. Plinth. Plinth. Plinth. Plinth. Plinth. Plinth. Plinth. Plinth. Plinth.

Man, I love saying plinth!

Scalliwags!

Veranda

Smock. Don´t mock my smock or i´ll clean your clock (Calvin and Hobbs)

Firesign Theatre?

Bacteria slang: Well said; I may need to borrow that.

Reconnoiter is a wonderful word. But you have to connoiter first before you can reconnoiter and that can get you in trouble with your English teacher. Okay, see ya, I’m going out connoitering now.

We need more Kate. Lots more Kate.

Apostolic Tabernacle.Have fun, Kids!

Is an earworm part of the vestibular system? Heh heh.

I love the plethora of comments today.

Educating big sister. Is that not strange or what? Danae is the risker. Kate is the trickster and whateveter.

Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz.

I work at City Hall. It’s 100 years old and has a grand domed thing out front that all city workers delight in calling the “portico”.

Just to watch their expressions I always refer to it as “the front porch”.

People who don’t play with words have no idea of how much fun they’re missing out on.

I knew someone who could not say Kinnickinnic River without cracking up.Personally I like Ittibittiwassee

Kate’s a bit of an evil genius. Love that girl.

El-bow, Window-sill…….I recall some character in a book taking great delight in those words…..

Kate is my hero. You go girl! I married the first woman I met that was like you.

Then where do you put the chesterfield? I leave all my empty 2-4s to take back to the LC on the veranda.

First you write:“I’m surprised no one corrected Kate.”, then immediately follow it with, " Yes, a vestibule is a hallway…". If Kate isn’t wrong, then why do you think she needs to be corrected?

As for the hallway she’s referring to, how do know it doesn’t lead outside? Or was this just an attempt to display your knowledge of the word?

Inordinate, exacerbate, subcranial, obverse, perverse, exorbitant, exiguous… The list goes on.

No one knows Danae better than Katy. Not nice to play that advantage whenever bored. Doesn’t Danae ever get Katy? Nope.

scoonz……Varnes….The list goes on….

Ah! But how many of today’s rich words started out as slang? (Hint — all of them?)

??? Every word started somewhere, and when they started they were slang.

Technically a vestibule is a hallway connected to an outdoor entrance, so….. oh, heck some words are more fun than others. :D

Kate is evil with a smile. I like her!
