fucking wild you busted out a Dollar Tree word like abstruse but came here to brag about how you didn’t read the article because you couldn’t understand its extremely simply worded headline
need to start charging these guys $100 a word so they can complain about the merchandise
Tired: Veblen goods
Wired: Veblen words
Y'all get to send me to the dictionary, but it doesn't go both ways. I see how it is.
In my defense I had been awake for maybe 20 hours. It's not that bad a headline, I was just brain-dead and lazy.
Abstruse isn't a difficult word though, is it? Second time this week people are poking fun at me for words I've been using conversationally since I was young.
