Meretricious could be my new favorite word if I could pronounce it.
Apparently, this is the sixth poem I’ve written that uses the word, so it must be one of my favorites, as well.
I’ve used the word asshat almost 3,000 times, so that must be my most favorite word, totally.
Hmm, something about my original logic doesn’t seem to work in that case.
When a true asshat is involved, logic goes out the window.
