Vocab 8

lo·qua·cious: full of excessive talk
Mose Allison, a famous jazz singer and songwriter penned the song "Your Mind is On Vacation (and Your Mouth is Working Overtime)" in the mid 1970's, which would later help catapult him into fame. The song describes a loquacious individual who tries to make up for a lack of substance in his thoughts and actions by increasing the volume of them. The song became an anthem of condemnation against the unthinking and irrational, adored by the intellectuals and loathed by their vapid adversaries.


su·per·cil·ious: coolly and patronizingly haughty
It has repeatedly been irrefutably proven that the former host of the History Channel's "Digging For the Truth", was the most pretentious, pompous, bombastic, self aggrandizing, narcissistic, and supercilious individual to ever taint the earth. Swollen with an unwarranted sense of self importance, and a seemingly unlimited arsenal of smugness and blatant arrogance, it is projected that he will collapse under the weight of his massive ego in the year 2011. The resulting solid sphere of haughtiness will grow at an exponential rate thereafter, until it eventually implodes under its own gravity, and becomes the first ever black hole consisting solely of failure. The resulting swirling vortex of contrived triteness will engulf the world, and eventually the rest of the solar system.


tem·pes·tu·ous: of or relating to a violent storm
Patrick Stewart (of Star Trek fame) has a much underrated career as a Shakespearian actor. He is especially well known in the thespian community for his enthralling portrayal of Prospero in The Tempest.
