I usually prefer polling to spamming, but I need a break from the rampant stupidity of the chatterbox...

At the same time, I get bored just spamming with no purpose.
Hmm...what to do?

I'll start with one of the words in my verbose sig:
Defenestrate.
"dee-FEN-eh-strate"
To throw someone or something out of a window.
A useful one, n'est-ce pas?

And since I just used it:
Verbose.
"vuhr-BOE-SS"
Using a lot of words, given to talking a lot. Wordy.

Here's a pretty word that French-speakers will like.
Papilionacious.
"pa-PILL-ee-on-ay-shiss"
Resembling a butterfly.

I don't know why, but I love this word.
Taciturn.
"TASS-ih-turn"
I was having trouble wording the definition, so I check the m-w.com, and they put it succinctly. "Tempermentally disinclined to talk."
In other words, the opposite of verbose, and probably coz you're grumpy XD

I use this word all the time.
Reticent.
"RHETT-ih-sent"
It can be similar to taciturn, meaning disinclined to speak, but also just disinclined to do something, or reserved.

Everyone's favorite silly word!
Onomatopoeia!
"AHN-uh-mah-tuh-PEE-uh"
A word that resembles the sound it is desribing, like "buzz" or "hiss."
Remember kids! I before E, except after C, and also in weird words like neighbor, weigh, and onomatopoeia XD
