  I’ve always resented orthodoxy.

      Those terpsichorean fish show how dead Greek religions can still influence our vocabulary. I suppose they form their own dance schools.
      
      as they dance around in waves.

      Have been fascinated with the behavior of schooling fish moving in unison…it is a dance

      Sometimes laconic, hopefully never grandiloquent. If you are fond of laconic visit Laconia New Hampshire where a lacuna is longer than a schooner. I don’t know what the hell i am talkin about. Thanks for the compliment Reg.

      My favourite word is petrichor, the “dusty rain smell”. It’s probably a lot of people’s favourite word.

      @jakelafort – I have added a few of your words to my vocab. You have a knack of using uncommon words that are always apt for the statement you make. Using long words at the correct time does not a Sesquipedalian make. So, don’t become pauciloquent, a word you reminded me of not so long ago. (I am sure you won’t ever 😊).
