I was reading a legal interpretation of the part of the act, for which I’m writing a directive, Tuesday and came across the following, “Without doing violence to the meaning of the word”. I read it and continued on but had to go back. How could I leave such an imaginative phrase alone? Maybe that is typical legalese but it struck me as elegant. There are a few people who use the word “fullsome” incorrectly in such a way that they do serious violence to the meaning of the word. I’ll be able to call them on it without causing offence. (Or not ;+)

Roger called me with an invented word he’d read about in the Toronto Star that made him think of me:
Snooziasm (noun) - a strong inclination to nap
I’m not sure if I should be insulted. I might be if it weren’t an accurate word to describe an important part of my personality. I used to tell people that I didn’t sleep in but I was a napper. Now I can tell them that I’m snooziastic and if they question the word, I’ll tell them to take it up with my big brother.
