Ok, ok, Pendragon, I didnīt look this one up. I know you thrive on my mistakes :D.
Chiasmus:1- Married to Lady Chiasma. 2-A rhetorical device resulting of inverted parallelism in a sentence. Example: "Men should work to live and not live to work."
Parallelism:
Parallelism: The ability to walk between railroad track rails and never notice a train.
Train:
Train: 1) Possibly the worst band in history and one whose ubiquitous hit song tragically never stops being played, 2) a conveyance of which Agatha Christie made legendary use, and 3) something the luxury version of which I hope to take through the Canadian Rockies one day--preferably accompanied by a girl of such staggering apportionment as to require the door to our cabin to be specially widened ere we depart.
Blissful:
Danik--I love to kid people, don't mind me. I screw up worse than most myself! http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-f_hL404zo0...ing-smiley.png
Blissful: Full of good cheer and possibly good wine
Obsequious:
Obsequious: obviously sequencing vowels incorrectly in a groveling manner
Groveling:
Cute emoji!Itīs all right, Pen! ;)
Obsequious: 1-someone sequious of obs; 2-Bootlicker or apple-polisher

Concomitant, Taylor!
Groveling: 1-Being obsequious. 2-Sounds of a bad humoured animal

Thumbnail: 1) The chitinous covering of a digit of the hand 2) An affliction caused by hammertoe
Digit:
Digit: A now uncommon but once ubiquitous expression of enthusiasm for a thing, or an urging to check said thing out, I still use this phrase all the time. Viz: "I dig it," or "Now dig this." "Now can you dig it," too, is my way of soliciting your attention as I cue up a piece of music which, while supremely groovy, the young'ns wouldn't dig any more than my vernacular.
Thumbnail: a misleading still photo, usually of a woman's breasts, used to trick the unsuspecting (not me, of course) into clicking on a YouTube video, thus generating views (i.e., ad revenue) for the YouTuber in question. Invariably the video turns out to be about growing yams, and in addition to disappointment you feel like a total schmuck. Such inviting still photos used in this manner are known as 'click bait.' Again, I'm just going by what I've heard.
Disingenuous:
Disingenuous: Speech that one thinks is funny but is without candor or wit of any kind. 2) To speak bad of the ingenuous
Pantechnicon:
Pantechnicon: The Pantechnicons were of the order of Hephaestus who left the earth anciently to colonize the stars with all of their belongings and peoples in generation ships; some of them have returned.
Progressive:
Progressive: 1) an auto insurance company whose spokeswoman is talented but, jeez louise, enough is enough, and 2) nickname for a political ideology. Note how adroitly I avoid any commentary on said ideology. :smilewinkgrin:
Pendragon, was that 'disingenuous' remark aimed at me?
Dirk Gently:
highjacking:
Don't you like Dirk Gently, Danik? ;-)
Highjacking: What lowlifes and knuckle-draggers have long since done to our civilization.
Dirk Gently:
Sorry, T. C. Was sure I had answered it. Bit of a mix up at midnight!
Dirk Gently: Detective in Douglas Adams book. Didnīt have the honour of a personal introduction.
