There's an interesting conversation over on trivet, and I just assumed you might be our resident expert on what the punchline might be.

trivet, do you hail from Ojai? Saw it under pink moment. I'm a born-and-raised Santa Barbaran. Used to go play golf in Ojai and one of my favorite places there is the Krotona Library.

I bought a trivet yesterday. You look very elegant in my new kitchen.

"glossologically speaking" is a wonderful turn of phrase.

Hi. Would you like to be on Identify the Wordie #2? You'll need to email identifythewordie@yours.com with your Wordie nick and the single word that best describes you. Cheers!

Huzzah!

Hi trivet, just saw your post my profile, that's disturbing, I'm looking at the db right now, trying to figure out what happened. Could you email me (johnatwordie.org), and let me know what list you were moving words from and to, and if the total number of words at the top of your profile looks correct?
-
I find the word aesthetically & glossologically displeasing. Also, I hate the way your mouth has to move in order to pronounce it.
-
Suffragette is a weird archaicism for sure -- is that why you don't like it? Or just not a David Bowie fan ;-)

If you haven't properly been introduced, "sir" or "ma'am" is usually a safe bet.

Not from Ojai or Santa Barbara, but I've spent some quality time there.

trivet commented on the word overchoice syndrome
When multi-potentiality is defined as multiple abilities and is accompanied by high motivation and multiple interests and opportunities, career indecision is then associated with the barrier referred to as the 'overchoice syndrome'.

I think that most barbecue arguments, at heart, are ploy to get someone to take you out to dinner...

trivet commented on the word bush-hogging
Aaah, but the Finger Lakes region is quite different from other parts of New York. Full of crazy birders, for one thing. And Ithaca really is "gorges".

I'm officially a liaison, but I don't use this word. It sits in the snake-oil section of my mental shelf.

trivet commented on the word pookie
Llamas are nice, but a bit standoffish. Like cats, really.
Pookie was officially named after a one-L lama from a children's book, but as with most animals we owned, nobody used his given name.
Sionnach, unless you are being facetious (I can't always tell), 4-H is a youth club that tends to be associated with rural areas in the United States. It started as a sneaky way to teach stubborn farmers new tricks. More here. Pookie and I won a blue ribbon in the obstacle course at the county fair.

trivet commented on the word guitar hero
Air guitar is so gloriously impromptu, while guitar hero requires accessories and electricity and things. I don't think it'll ever fade away. Like a steering wheel drum kit, the air guitar is always there when you need it...

The wasp and all his numerous family
I look upon as a major calamity.
He throws open his nest with prodigality,
But I distrust his waspitality.
