No fair. I used most of these words last year dining with my in-laws! (jk)

i thought lassitude was ‘the quality or state of bearing resemblance to lassie.’

I’m proud of the fact that I used the words “Lethal Dosage” at Easter Dinner.

Here we go: I was having the perfunctory at-the-water-cooler conversation the other day at work when I started pontificating about the degree of lassitude I experience after a good rogering. My coworker had the nerve to deride me for being so ribald. That silly B!
