...the word
plinth today
it is one of my favorites
anyone else have any cool words??

narg:
I realise that I have a past to break with--an accumulation of inertia, wrong, foolishness, rot, junk. A great need of clarification, of mindfulness, or rather, of no mind. A need to return to genuine practice, right effort. Need to push on the great doubt. Need for the spirit. Hang on to the clear light.

PERSNICKETY
We were sitting around having beers and one of my friend's mom was commenting on how his wife was "PRESNICKETY". I was like "WHAT THE FUCK??? THAT AIN"T NO WORD WOMAN!" :blink: After a small argument and going back an forth I was soon corrected and told to shut the fuck up. It means picky or meticulous or some shit like that. A lesson well learned. :|
