And hilarious! You nail the verbosity of early American lit squarely on the head. I was cracking up every time I found a particularly ridiculous word (which meant lots of laughs because this piece is just chalk full of 25-cent words). Thanks for giving me a laugh. Turns out I needed it today. Okay, I’m only 2.5 years late to this gem, but I simply must say how Brilliant this is. And hilarious! You nail the verbosity of early American lit squarely on the head.

I'm mostly just playing around trying to imitate old literature that revels in unnecessary Latinisms, in which people "cogitate" instead of thinking, and "masticate" rather than chewing. But, yeah, I went a little overboard. Some of these words I'm not sure of myself. :) Thanks Ann and Ziff--I'm glad you got a laugh out of it! Great points, Biv. The Headless Chicken Patriarch is definitely a nightmare and no real substitute for defunct patriarchy. Jessawhy, I’m sure your reading level is above 5th grade!

Difficult to read, but I must be an average American, at the 5th grade reading level. :) I hope you get nominated for a Niblet. They should have a special award for holiday posts. Well done.

I wouldn't have thought Halloween would be that good a holiday for writing themed posts, but I was clearly wrong. Also, I would not have guessed that you would write a post categorized under both "patriarchy" and "fun" but again, you've proven me wrong. Thanks for the laugh. Kiskilili, this is hilarious!
