Favorite Word – 20 February 2021

Here’s a fun word I don’t often come across:

sartorial

I don’t know if I could be accused of having good sartorial taste. I prefer jeans and t-shirts way too much!

I don’t try to stuff my stories with “big words” but if the word fits the situation or conversation, I’m not adverse to using one. If you haven’t yet read any of my books and are curious about the vocabulary therein, check out either of my series:

Deuces Wild (space opera)

The Sword’s Edge Chronicles (epic science fantasy)

One would think that after doing a Favorite Word each week for over a year and a half, I might have a paucity of words left. But you’d be wrong!

I would love for you to give me examples in SF of folks who are hirsute. Humans, aliens, critters—any and all of the above!

This is definitely a word most people do not hear every day and something I think most of us would want to avoid.

periclitate

It might be a bit unsurprising if one does not know this week’s word. I’ve only ever heard it used in legal documents. What about you? Familiar with it?

I was a little bit of a coin collector as a kid, but I was never a philatelist.

What about you? Did you collect stamps? What hobbies did or do you have?

I am officially starting the sequel to the prequel of the Sword’s Edge Chronicles!

No clue about the name. I do need to come up with a better working name for it. It almost sounds like the beginning of something like the vessel with the pestle…

Any ideas?

Ah, this week’s word is a one rarely heard anymore. I was thrilled when I heard it Gosford Park, said by Michael Gambon’s character. Are you familiar with the movie, and do you remember when Gambon’s character said this?

cretin

In order to keep from creating a bunch of continuity errors, I am going to have to reread all three books of the Sword’s Edge Chronicles: Sword’s Edge, Children of the Enaisi, and Laws and Prophecies. And Unlikely Prophet as well and take copious notes.

Why, you ask? I’m starting the sequel to Unlikely Prophet, and also the next book in the Sword’s Edge Chronicles.
