bring back those old powerful words!

[yamasaaaki har har]

I like to insert ol' after words, like big ol', good ol', crazy ol', or before names, like Ol' Billy Bob...

Some of my favorite arcane words are theological ones.
propitiation
preterition
privation
those are just the p's

Then there are words that John Owen used
alacrity
abstruse (and totally describing other people's words!!)
prolepsis
traduce
As I've mentioned he really liked metonymy.
Oh and latin words. You know just throw out latin like we all should know it because John Owen did. What can I say I'm a barbarian, I don't know latin...But I am all about arguing the esse and bene esse right now. Those are highly useful latin words. And everyone loves simil iustus et peccator. Well except foul papists.

Sorry still digging the Puritans.

The rate at which words are dropping out of the already concise english language is lamentable. I was once asked what the word ambivalent meant. Yikes. Then again maybe I am pleonastic....

So how's that ad libitum going, all my semper fidelis friends?
