frigorific
Jan. 16th, 2002 09:53 pmNo, it's not a really enthusiastic term Robin (of Batman and...) used for female masturbation. It's actually the word of the day on www.m-w.com. Frigorific: (adj) causing cold: chilling.
Why did I decide to lead off with frigorific today? Well because the whole idea of a word of the day from webster is cool, smart, hip and sexy. Well, you may not agree with three out of four there, but you're welcome to your opinion.
Also, frigorific is perfect for the part of the globe in which I have my domocile. Yes, we are having a very mild winter and even a harsh winter here can't compare to Minnesota. But as a whole people in New England just tend to go inside about November and not come out until somewhere around March. This living inside thing affects your brain after a while.
For instance, in this year of very mild temperatures, a man decided to take his snowmobile for a swim. I guess he figured the water must be warmer this year and his snowmobile would enjoy the bath. Darwin 1, Idiot 0.
Also driving along the road yesterday I saw 6 cars in various states of unintentional off-roading in about 20 miles. There had been a little bit of snow, an inch maybe. Such behavoir is understandable in Atlanta, but inexcusable in this neighborhood. If you don't start driving right, we'll send you to Minnesota to teach you a lesson!
Frigorific is also a good word for life in the financial industry right now. Have you seen the numbers from Chase, Key, BoNY, and the lack of numbers from Fleet?! Frigorific, man. It's a weird business, debt, when it's bad no one will buy it from you at any price, when it's good you don't want to sell it. I wonder how Fleet will fair. They've been playing the buy, buy, buy game for about 10 years now I've got to imagine they're pretty leveraged. Guess they'll have to raise their consumer fees yet again in order to make up for A & E, the matching black holes of money.
Frigorific, a seeming nice Philly guy offs a good portion of his family and himself in a shooting spree. Yes, he was on medication for depression.
Okay, I leave you now to find your own frigorific facts. Happy... errr.. frigging.
