I know you've all seen the Snickers ads like Peanutopolis and Hungerectomy. Some are cool, some are lame. Nougatocity is lame. Not a lot of words can pull off the -ocity at the end. Travelocity can get away with it, I guess because of the L. But after a T? No. No, Snickers, no.
Substantialiscious is my favorite. I like the way it sounds. I love words that end in -scious though, like:
pervicacious
extremely willful; obstinate; stubborn.
I especially love the ones that end in -iscious, like:
pernicious
1. causing insidious harm or ruin; ruinous; injurious; hurtful
2. deadly; fatal: a pernicious disease.
3. Obsolete. evil; wicked.
and my all time favorite:
lubricious
1. arousing or expressive of sexual desire; lustful; lecherous.
But speaking of the Word of the Day, what the fuck is up with today's word:
small beer \small beer\, noun:
1. Weak beer.
2. Insignificant matters; something of little importance.
3. Unimportant; trivial.
They even put the pronunciation on there? Now, that's lame.
