Last night I was shocked to hear the word assuage during an episode of Lost. So I got to thinking: do these socks look gay or not? I mean, what are other words I can't recall ever hearing on TV, in a Movie, or while tied down by an insane Nazi dentist?

1) wiseacre

I'm guessing you don't watch The Simpsons all that much.


Joe Thanks doesn't either-but you're sane, he's not.

okay-you're not drooling and referring to yourself in the turd person while shooting steroids-you're not that kind of insane


Your choice of word has become part of the common vernacular thaks to The Simpsons

I don't recall ever hearing the word "doldrums" on TV. Of course, it's been several years since I watched Dawson's Creek.

I recall hearing the word assuage on an episode of "Bottom".

How about loquacious? That's a damn cool word, but no one ever uses it.

I used to work at a bank and I met a customer whose last name is "Lokacious". I asked him if people tell him he talks too much, and he gave me an annoyed smile and a huff, looked straight down, and said, "Yep." Haha.
