I signed up for the Dictionary.com Word of the Day mailing list like two years ago. Most days, it's either a word I already know, or something so arcane, that it'd be impossible to ever use it in a sentence. But yesterday it was Brobdingnagian, which is just the most awesome word ever. Definition:
LeBron Is A Brobdingnagian Bama
↵↵Adj.: “of huge size; gigantic; tremendous.”
↵↵Use it in sentence? I’ll do you one better. To prove it’s still relevant, we’ll go colloquial:
↵↵Look at that f***kin t-shirt! That right there is a BROBDINGNAGIAN bama. You don’t typically see bamas that size in the wild. That bama takes my breath away.
↵↵See? It still works. And here’s the definition of bama, for the uninitiated. Other links:
- ↵↵Alec Baldwin talks exactly like Jack Donaghy in real life: “I don’t own any blue jeans. When I turned forty, I never put on a pair of jeans again.”
- ↵The stars of Goodfellas talk about making it with Scorsese. Love stuff like this.
- ↵Fire Joe Morgan was as great as expected at Deadspin today.
↵Would you trade Joakim Noah for Camelo Anthony?
↵↵And finally, check out this Sports Illustrated story on the football team at Ft. Campbell, a high school for the children of armed forces members serving overseas. Very cool.
