Special Sub-Topic: Words Worth(e) Wielding


Which term describes a 'former' position occupied by someone?

    Sometime.

Intinct and Instinct are the same word? ( yes-no )
    no. I generally intinct my hands into my food when I eat in private, and stuff my self voraciously...that is when no one is looking around.

Hyperprosexia and a person exhibiting a quiquous expression might be taken for the same thing. What do you think? ( yes-no )
    yes.

I generally start a conversation with: 'Beshrew my forwardness...but isn't that an example of a misplaced catachresis?' What does beshrew mean anyway?
    bugger.

Which word is seemingly opposite in meaning to 'Divulsion'?
    Cleave.

Thales was witless to fall into a well, weening the welkin's starry diagrams to show him the next eclipse when the well showed him the darkness sooner than he supposed . Who wrote of the comedy of a distrait philosopher falling flatly into a well?
    Aristophanes.

I often wonder whether it is more charming to have Blue-footed boobies or a brazen booboisie of friends...I believe now, the former makes better company. What are the booboisie?
    masses. This word was actually coined by H.L. Mencken to describe the intolerant drones of the masses.

'My are we not the 'procacious' child?' Is that the same as the 'precocious child' that we are so fond of? (yes or no)
    no. Procacious is an unruly and beastly child lacking manners, whilst a precocious child is a slightly 'gifted' kid who listens to adult commands with care.

An imposthumated caruncle often I do find upon my toe especially, since I wear sport shoes filled with bathybius soles. What should I do with these specimens that aggregate in excess on my feet?
    Abscessed flesh ought to be burned off.

William James is known for his cryptic and ephectic comments; why do you suppose he was so ephectic?
    He wrote an essay on the Suspension of Disbelief. Folie de doute is often the disease faced by Pragmatic philosophers dealing with defeasible arguments, probably which would be in the future contradinstinctive to past hypotheses.
