    Alto: High as compared with low, however, were it a voice type it would be somewhere between soprano and bass which would probably make it medium. It could also refer to the high Alto Mountains, if they existed.

    Golden Mean: Geometrically miserly

    Parsimonious:
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Progressive. Steadily growing worse to a pessimist; gradually getting better to an optimist

    Backward:
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Aroma: A surprising and sometimes delightful spike in olfactory sensation such as when an espresso comes close to the nose or just after the manure spreader has emptied its load.

    Espresso: A beverage people often mispronounce 'expresso' when ordering, which, even though I know there is a beverage called expresso, as well, ordering this latter variant of espresso is not the intention of the restaurant patron. To describe my reaction at such moments as peevish is to describe Abraham Lincoln as not feeling well at the moment, since when I hear 'Expresso...' leaving the lips of said patron I want to drive a stainless steel railroad spike through his or her thorax.

    Thorax: Caveman speech for Thor's Ax which of course he uses when his Hammer is being polished.

    Gross Darkness: A phrase from Isaiah and Jeremiah describing conditions as if without the Lord where the loss of light would smother life in hopeless heartlessness.

    Hopeless: Achievable but not without great sacrifice and diligent work. The major part of people will give up, which is true hopelessness...

    Diligent:
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Diligent: The opposite of sloth, not the animal but the deadly sin. The sloth (animal) is as diligent as any couch potato is likely to get.

    Deadly sin:
