I've been thinking lately about some words that I like, which don't get used very often in day to day conversation. Here are a few of them:
1. modicum: a word used to indicate a particular amount of something, i.e. "a modicum or restraint".
2. fenistration: this word is an architectural term about the usage of windows. I hope I spelled it right.
3. lenticular: the name of a really cool looking type of cloud.
4. effervescent: an adjective to describe something that is very...well, very effervescent, i.e. "she has an effervescent personality", or "alka-seltzer is an effervescent beverage".
5. perspicacity: "they have the unbridled perspicacity to expect us to pay their bills".

And now, a sentence using all of these words which may, or may not, make sense:
"The effervescent architect had the brazen perspicacity of a con-artist in the way he substituted a mere modicum of fenistration in the room designed for the recreational viewing of lenticular cloud formations."

There will soon be another RGNC'er on board, so don't be surprised when you notice a post from somebody new to the club. They have been interviewed (not once, not twice, but thricely so) and their background checks have revealed the type of shamelessly spotty reputation that is a requirment for participation in this organization. So, we have all been duly warned.

be good.
