Mine is insidious as it sounds cool and is apt in our modern world of fast news
Quixotic - cannot even remember what it means
It meant my Dad never played Scrabble with my mom ever again, that’s what it meant.
Across two Triple Word tiles, no less.
I think it means like a person is taking something that is foolish or misguided far to seriously.
Yes :) , it looks that it takes its roots to Don Quixote (english is not my first language but come on, Don Quixote I could have remembered that)
I means acting in a manner that’s hard to understand.
ℹ️ “exceedingly idealistic; unrealistic and impractical”
Facetiously has all the vowels, in order, including “y”.
Paraphernalia is a fantastic word for “stuff”
Fuck. Fuck can mean so many things. Just all round best word of all time.
“optimal frustration” (one single word in several languages that aren’t English)
Something is too easy? Easily bored.
Something is altogether too difficult? Feels hopeless.
Optimal frustration is where the magic happens, be it in education or a computer game.

Asinine. It’s a perfect descriptor and it’s succinct.

It’s got such a pleasing sound to the ear, feels nice in the mouth when you say it, and even looks pretty nice on the page.
It means something in an advance state of use, with connotations of neglect or disrepair, and is often used to describe things that would be thrown away were they not rendered nessesary by being the only option.
To me it evokes urchins, rags, wildflowers, and a little bit of magic.
I will be trying to shoe string this in to my vocabulary!

Smithereens, because I’ve been playing overwatch and I play as soldier 76 a lot. He’s such a funny character.
The way he says “I’m goin in!” cracks me up.

Fuck, because it is the most fucking versatile fucking word we could fucking come up with for things that we don’t know what the fuck they are or we fucking do but no one fucking cares.
According to QI, “set” is the most versatile word in English
“Fuck” isn’t fuckin far behind though
