2. The depressed respondent in a divorce suit.
Epiphany
Epiphany: A glorious breakthrough such as the moment one realizes that humanity as a whole are a herd of asses.
Breakthrough:
Breakthrough: Another glorious experience when you finally realize that what you thought you knew in the past was pile of bull.
Glorious:
Glorious: Fancy
Depleted:
Depleted: 1) Full conversion & harmony with Flatland 2) Diminished, as in the case for DU ordinance and armor: where the fissile isotope U-235 is 0.3% or less (normally ~ 0.7%).
Fissile:
Fissile: A missile which goes pfffffisssst and explodes a few feet away from the take-off point.
Income tax:
Income tax: State-sponsored theft.
Equality:
Equality: A pipe dream often espoused by politicians which actually means that all men are equal as long as the man in question has a certain skin color, social status, net value, etc. We the poor and the middle class are equal to each other, and should listen to our betters. The feudal system is alive and well.
Middle Ages:
Middle Ages: Those years when a sports car looks like a valuable investment.
Investment:
Investment: Betting both ends against the middle that the money you give to develop an idea, an invention, or to start up a business will pay off. It usually doesn't, but then there's things like Facebook and Twitter that have made their investors obscenely rich
Foul:
Foul: 1) opposite of fair 2) infraction 3) odious 4) homophone/heterograph for "fowl" 5) perfect rhyme for "owl" (a fowl)
owl
Owl: A form of night bird with eyes and ears facing forward and not on the sides of the head like a normal bird allowing it to have binocular vision and hearing like we have. It also prefers standing more upright than something more bent over and water loving like a seagull. It seems wise which makes you wonder if there might be something wrong with it.
Wise:
Wise: Possessed of knowledge. This is not a another word for smart, as you may possess knowledge that is totally worthless, such as trivia about the TV shows of the past four decades. Try putting that on a résumé!
Résumé:
Resume': A type of clear soup made from richly flavored stock or bouillon that has been clarified, a process which uses egg whites to remove fat and sediment. Sorry, that's consomme. Resume: That thing wot you use to get a job.
Pendragon, how do you do superscript characters like you did with resume? Also, I must disagree with you as to the definition of wisdom. I would say wisdom is not the possession of knowledge, but an insight into the essential nature of things, such as you will possess when reflecting back on an experience long afterwards.
Squash--and go there, my friends. Go there.
Résumé: An odious written affair oft laced with lies predicated on the need for a good, honest, job.
Oops, too late.
Squash: 1) Puréed substance given by mothers to their babies; a taste not often revisited in youth but perhaps in adulthood 2) game which appears to be a combination of tennis and handball played inside a cube.
Puréed:
As for accents etc. you can use alt codes https://www.google.com/search?num=10....0.aduuRixZ9L8 if your keyboard allows them, or google and cut and paste in a pinch Example: https://www.google.com/search?num=10....0.UvCcTeIR92E . My keyboard doesn't allow alt codes (HP Pavilion dv6) but I can use a virtual keyboard for some. Example: ALT 3 (alt key depressed same time 3 depressed on a keyboard with dedicated number keypad or virtual keypad) = ♥. Special characters can also be generated by word processing proggies and cut and pasted, and within Windows http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/w...324c368?auth=1 and Mac utilities http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Symbols-on-a-Mac.
Job: This guy who got stuck in the belly of a whale...Oh, OK, I won't do it. Job: A bleedin' annoying waste of time, a soul-killing consignment to drudgery, a bleak exhaustion of one's life's energy...I'll stop there, eh what? Let's hope the bots and AIs take over all the labor soon, leaving us free to sip tea and play The Sims IV: Unlicensed Surgery.
And your definition of résumé was cute, tailor--lying to get an honest job. ;-) But you neglected the word I proffered.
I edited my post and answered a question you posed (previous page). :)
Ta ! (short for tarradiddle),
tailor STATELY

Squash: To ruthlessly dismiss an idea, such as someone's definition of a word! hee! Just Kidding!
Nobody:
Puréed: Take your favorite food groups, such as, pizza, donuts or ice cream, and put them in a food processor. There should be a button somewhere to start the food processor. Press it. Don’t forget to put the lid on the processor before you press the start button. Find the stop button or be ready to pull the plug. It probably doesn’t matter when you actually press the stop button because the damage has been done as soon as you pressed the start button. What you ultimately get has been puréed. This will explain why you don’t need a food processor.
Food Processor:
Food processor: My stomach.
Bustier (the garment, not 'busty-er', although you're welcome to make all manner of bawdy puns if you wish--god knows I would)
Bustier: A form fitting female garment based on the scientific principle that if you blow up a balloon and then squeeze it appropriately around the middle the resulting bulges on the unsqueezed area will attract attention.
Squeeze:
Answering my own posted word:
Nobody: The person most blamed for the errors of humanity
Squeeze: 1) To grasp tightly until whatever you are holding bulges out around your hands 2) Significant other "Martha is my main squeeze."
Significant:
Significant: The portion of the female anatomy which becomes prominent when the female in question is squeezed by a bustier is the more heavenward of two portions most significant to males.

Infamous:
Infamous: What happens to bad guys when they get their pictures on Wanted posters.
Bad Guy:
Bad Guy: Ironically, one who is often enough the good guy, but who, because his superior nature threatens the status quo, is labeled the bad guy. Not to be confused with Bald Guy. History is replete with bald heroes and villains alike. I mean, Captain Picard and Professor X were both bald. (See, that was a little joke. Do try and keep up, lads.)
Rug:
Rug: the last resort of a bald guy.
Penguinone
Penguinone: It may look like a penguin, but it sure doesn't smell like a penguin.

Rainmaker:
Rainmaker: One who claims a mystical ability to make it rain, usually by dancing (Hopi Native Americans), praying (evangelicals), or seeding clouds (scientists). The reliability of any of these methods is questionable, as even science sometimes cannot force Mother Nature to do anything She doesn't want to do
Mother Nature:
Mother Nature: A towering woman with a wreath of garlands in her hair, known for summoning lightning and uttering the phrase "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature."
Allusion:
