Words that Aren't Used Enough
#1. Grouse
Pros
- Easy to say and can be further punctuated by holding the ‘ou’ sound for extended periods of time
- has less syllables than ‘the bomb’
- has less syllables than ‘fucking awesome’
- has less syllables than ‘fucking sweet’
- has less syllables than ‘fucking excellent’
Cons
- Sounds too much like ‘gross’
- Too ‘old school’ for mainstream types
- Has more syllables than saying nothing at all
#2. Jurisprudence
Pros
- will make you sound well-educated and cultured, even if the people you are speaking to don’t know what it means
- it will help your chances of hooking up with a female law student
- has all sorts of cool word buildings such as ‘jurisprudential’ and ‘jurisprudentially’
- it’s a noun
- has less syllables than ‘invincibility’
Cons
- the word ‘prudence’ sounds a bit fruity
- must be used in moderation
- risk of having to explain what it means, or actually discuss it with the female law student
#3. ‘My Wife is having a Baby’
Pros
- can get you out of any awkward situation
- makes you sound mature and responsible
- confirms your either not impotent, or else impotent and rich enough to afford IVF
- it will give you an air of unattainability
- good ice breaker at parties
Cons
- raises questions over your dedication to your wife and child seeming as your living in a share house with friends
- nobody is going to believe you. (Particularly if you insist in using it for 10 months)
- not a very good pick up line to women with enough moral high ground to not knowingly commit adultery
#4. Juxtaposition
Pros
- would score well in a game of scrabble
- the ‘jux’ syllable sounds cool
- a detailed analysis of the word would be a good ice breaker at parties
Cons
- the word as a whole doesn’t roll off the tongue smoothly (despite the appeal of the ‘jux’ syllable)

Old school vocabularies are coming back in.
Jack likes grouse. Jack would also like to note that saying"fucking ..." is also socially unacceptable, where as grouse is not. Jack doesnt know what jurisprudence is, but jack agree's with koskov about the law ladies, especially if they're blonde and graduated already and actually have a commerce degree. Jack agree's about the baby call. Jack also agrees with juxtaposition.
Jack would like to address Mr Sinclair's comment, by saying the old school vocabularies will never completely return (unless laws are passed), as they only seem to rise and fall within small dedicated circles of peoples. And Jacks furthers this by saying, the more people die, the less and less there are persons who remember these classic old school words. Jack is now sad.
The time is nigh, my friends, the time is nigh.
A call to arms for the sacred brotherhood has been left on the 21st post of the previous blog.
Salvation or slayage for our enemy?
He awaits.....DESTINY.
