two of my favorite words of the moment:
ineptitude
which I was very excited about as I thought I had invented it to mean the ability to be crap at everything, but in fact it turns out is already a word meaning the quality of being inept. I like it though as it is still the antithesis (ooh another good word!) of aptitude.
troglodyte
it means cave-dweller, and makes a good insult when you don't want to curse and would like to appear pompous.

And if you feel like insulting a lazy person, call them an inept troglodyte. Gets them every time.
Troglodyte. I love it!! I'm sooooo going to use that one. MWAHAHAHA!!
Wasn't there an anti-motivational poster with 'Ineptitude' as a title? I heartily encourage daily use of this word. ;)
Troglodyte gave us the Trogs, whose biggest hit was the 1960's anthem Wild Thing. And Ineptitude gave us Nickelback, who should probably just go back to waiting on tables.
wow. i was just thinking yesterday that my lovely colleague is actually a troglodyte with a severe case of ineptitude.
thats like a jedi mind meld or something.
I've never used troglodyte, but love it.
Morgan - Oooh the double whammy!
Cora - Hehe, nice evil laugh!
Eric - I only wish I didn't have daily cause to use it.
Cooper - Hahahahahahahaa, perfect.
Sas - Ooh spooky!
Little Ms - It's a good one. Please feel free to use it at the next opportunty!
If that's a new word, than this is a new song and video, too.

Lord, I am a horrible person today.
There was this game I used to play back when I had a PC and it had troglodytes in it... they were round ball-shaped monsters with spindly lizard-like legs and slimy skin, and they stabbed at things with spears.
Scope - That is bizarro.
Well Fed - You see, so it would be insulting to be called one of those!
Hi, S&C. Here's a little ditty using your words...
The troglodyte returned home to find an empty cave. A stone tablet was resting at the entrance and all the furniture was gone. On the tablet was carved the following note:
Dear Jor,
I'm leaving you for many reasons. But mostly for your ineptitude at things like making fire and pleasing me in our straw-mat bed.
No longer yours,
Zola
Hunter - Ahahahaha, that is brilliant!
These are good words, but I prefer numpty and glaikit. Work them into your conversation and you'll impress everyone.
Ooh, I like numpty. That's like idiot, right? But what does glaikit mean???
I love using "troglodyte". Especially with "lumbering" in front of it.
WWW - Oooooh, that's a nice embellishment!
Inept troglodytes = most of the people in my office.
Beckeye - Silver lining - at least it's easy for you to shine!
I ALWAYS want to appear pompous. *Files away*
It's such fun, is it not, my dear?
; )
Love it! Especially Zola's letter to Zor.
Spleeness - I know, Hunter is an annoyingly good storyteller!
; )
I love the word "ineptitude", it describes everything about the country I live in!
Mo - Not at all, yours is the country that invented high tea!!!
"High Tea"? Is that what hippies make out of that "herb" that they sometimes put in brownies?
Scope - I wouldn't know anything about that!
: )
