I think I need to oil mine. It keeps getting jammed, and even though I know there’s a word or two in there for something, it won’t give me anything. My subconscious told me a joke once. It was a bad joke, and I told it as much. It was miffed at that. Perhaps this is its revenge.

Be honest and love all your neighbors,
Be obsequious, purple, and clairvoyant.

I’m sure you can trust your brain more than you can trust mine.

Trust me: This is not a sign of senility. It means you read a lot. You’re smart! But you should read the dictionary more.

Earlier today I wanted to describe a chauffeur’s uniform and the word “tunic” showed up. Sure enough, the more I turned the word over in my mind, the less meaning it had.

Pretty sure it wasn’t “obsequies” that you were looking for.

Frank – If your brain runs on WordPress, Basil can probably do the upgrade for you.

Frank, you’re either being obsequious too much, or not enough.

Your other option for that sentence might be “obstreperous.” But for that, you’d have to reverse the polarity or cross the streams depending on which video game you’re playing.

Know the feeling…..
Last month a said the interior of a new Cathedral was “austere”.
I couldn’t fight the word. It was there, and in control. I haven’t looked up the word yet. I don’t have to – my brain said it was.
