Let's grow our vocabularies. The last word I learned was syncopate, which means to displace the beats or accents in (music or a rhythm) so that strong beats become weak and vice versa.

There's a difference between knowing that a word is a word and knowing what a word actually means, right?


In that case...platitude.

I knew it was a word, but not how to use it.


And this is coming from a guy who watched Kenneth Branagh's 2013 rendition of MacBeth with subtitles over the weekend.

I'm not sure what flappable means, but I think I heard it used at least 4 times watching football saturday.

quote:

adjective
excitable and quick to lose one's composure.
"he became totally flappable in her presence"

More common is unflappable.

Like, no matter what, you maintain a calm demeanor.

I've never actually heard "flappable", though.

Yes, and I had no idea syncopate was actually a word.

Not sure if joking, but....
unflappable is used way more than flappable. Infact, I have never heard flappable used either.

An Alabama Gentleman - When two guys are in desperate need of dumping and there is only one toilet to use. One fellow sits on his other fellows lap and dumps in the open gap between his legs.

Thanks Bama
