On point number 3, I once got dunked on for saying that I didn’t know anything about the subject at hand when asked. The other person told me “Well, that’s just a cop out. Just make something up!”
edit: clarification
I was wrong.
Too much to ask, pure fantasy
Everybody wants to hear that, nobody wants to say it.
I petition to bring back regular use of Kerfuffle.
I’ll sign that petition no doubt
Same for dust-up.
“Wow isn’t life great since we went to the 3 day working week!”
“I was wrong”
I love being wrong, it’s the gateway to new knowledge, but other people view not knowing through a self-esteem lens
“Hi nice to meet you I’m your soulmate and future wife and I’m going to fix you and we’ll help fix the world together”
(i mean if someone said that exact phrase to me I’d probably run screaming lol. But you know.)
Verisimilitude. It’s just nice.
It’s a good word! How would you use it in a sentence?
I’m less high now!
I normally use it when talking about miniatures and toy train setups.
“The miniature painted conifers with bits of snow really have the scene verisimilitude”
I could still be very wrong.
Do you mean the simulacra gave the scene verisimilitude?
Very likely! Even when not high, I use words wrongly! Very very wrongly.
Poorly! As I’m currently high and do not feel confident using it correctly!
Looks cool though!
The general meaning is the appearance of truth or validity.
But I usually use it to describe something that is “believable” even if the underlying premise is not. So a fantasy story that pays close attention to detail and is highly consistent might be described as having versimilitude. On the other hand, a story where the characters make out-of-character choices might be lacking versimilitude, even if there are no overtly “fictional” elements to the story.
That’s usually how I’ve heard it used, not sure if it’s the “main” usage though.

I love you. :'(
“Bosom”. Religious nuts shouldn’t have a monopoly on the word. Also, it makes me chuckle every time.
It’s like the wholesome counterpart to “boob.” Both kinda sound like what they describe, but “bosom” feels classy.
Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow
What WAS that song???

“cerulean is a blue dream.” – x-files
Yup, Pusher is the first thing I think of related to cerulean.
Catalyst
“lambasts” or “pillories” instead of “slams” in news headlines
How about “threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table” instead of “slams”
‘moist’
My son has you covered. He calls me a “moisty boi” something like 100 times a day. I’m still not sure why other than it being some kind of dis.
Here’s how it is, spoken by Malcolm Reynolds.
