the title of today’s post is actually a phrase that popped into my brain about a week ago and has refused to leave. this, could be partially to the fact that i think it would be a good name for a band… or at least a good album name… and that i seem to have developed an incredibly challenging articulation exercise.
try it…. you know you want to
say “moribund proclivities” three times… as fast as you can and accentuating every syllable. but not in the signature antoinette way of “aeeeiouaeioaueaaaaaaaaaa-ktkpdpdkktkttptkkrpptk!!” (that tidbit of humour is probably lost on you unless you went to the gaiety school in dublin in fall ‘05)
annnyways… once you’ve spoken the speech quite trippingly all your tongues… just try and tell me that you *dont* feel as though your tongue has had a fantastic workout!
so… for those of you too apathetic to look up the meanings of “moribund” or “proclivity”… fear not… cuz ive just done it for you!
moribund \MOR-uh-bund\, adjective:
1. In a dying state; dying; at the point of death.
2. Becoming obsolete or inactive.
pro·cliv·i·ty [prO-'kli-v&-tE], noun

so there ya go.
