Happy Hour Chatter

So once in a while I like to take note of words that I say in any given day.   I don't know why, but I do.  I'm quirky, remember?   I'm not a wordie, but I do like the way words are used and used correctly  So today I wrote down some of the words I used in conversation.  I must say, I sound smart. LOL Here they are: Presumably Incorrigible Inconsistent Tirelessly Haphazardly Silhouette Slamming (ok, this one, not so much) Iconic Imbecile If I was really smart, I'd figure out how to use them all in one sentence!  LOL
