I loved all of the thoughtful comments on my Artist / Scientist post. So many interesting terms and definitions! I confess, the first time I ever saw the word “polymath” I thought it meant somebody who is good at algebra, geometry and calculus. In that spirit, herewith a short lexicon based on a misinterpretation of some very nice words. Feel free to add more!
Ambidextrous: Able to use any sugar.
Circumspect: Examine from all angles.
Consequential: In reverse order.
Extraneous: Outside a locomotive.
Impeccable: Beak-proof.
Kinescope: Tool for visualizing your family tree.
Oxymoron: What you become when your brain goes without air for too long.
Parasympathetic: Approving of very lightweight aircraft.
Penultimate: Bic or Mont Blanc, platinum edition.
Ponderous: Thoughtful.
Postulate: Create blisters.
Proliferate: Argue against abortion.
Stagnation: Country of bachelors.
Very New York Magazine competition-worthy! 🙂
