Word Power Wednesday.

I am a loquacious, lamentably lachrymose lady.

loquacious: (adj.) very talkative.
ETYMOLOGY: 17c: from Latin loquax, from loqui to speak.

lachrymose: (adj.) literary
1 prone to frequent bouts of crying; liable to cry without much provocation.
2 said of a novel, play, film, etc: very sad; likely to make someone cry.
lachrymosely adverb.
ETYMOLOGY: 17c: from Latin lacrima tear.

I really like these two words, not only because they are very descriptive of me but they are just impressive and good to say.

How would you describe yourself? In the most impressive, alliterative way, please.

I like words and stuff.

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.
