#five dollar words

[random-bookquotes]

“Wot does the Major mean by ‘arboreal verdance,’ sah?” “Hmm, arboreal verdance, lemme see, I rather think it means treetops, leafy green ones.” “Oh! Then why didn’t ’e say treetops?” “Why should he when he knows how t’say words like arboreal verdance?” Rockjaw cuffed the moaning rat lightly. “Hush thy noise, or I’ll give thee summat to moan about an y’won’t see your arboreal verdance again!”

Brian Jacques, The Long Patrol: A Tale from Redwall

Captive Prince has arrived! Enjoying it so far, but I am not used to running into words I don’t know NEARLY this often! At least three times in the first hundred pages I’ve had to go for a dictionary, growling something like, “What the FUCK is ‘esurient’?!”

It occurs to me that my previous post sounded like I was saying never apologize for your vocabulary. I was not. You can apologize for your five dollars words all you want, but never apologize for calling an avocado skin a carapace, because that shit is hilarious.
