Use Big Words Carefully: Word of the Day


Often, in one's quest to sound more erudite, big SAT words are used. It becomes embarrassing for all parties involved when the big SAT words are used improperly. Just remember that episode of Full House I mentioned in my first post. That should scare you straight.


trep·i·da·tion
n.
1. A state of alarm or dread; apprehension.
2. An involuntary trembling or quivering.

Example: Mr. Mannerz feels great trepidation when he's being tailed by a dope fiend.



Because Your Mom Failed, It's Up to Me



Welcome to Mr. Mannerz! This is a long time coming. The idea came about after watching a special episode of Full House entitled "No More Mr. Dumb Guy". Here is the DVD description of the episode: Jesse is invited by Becky to a literature soirée, but he declines, believing that his lack of formal education wouldn't serve him too well among the other guests. Later, when Jesse feels threatened by a handsome and apparently flirtatious former professor of Becky's, he shows up at the event with an attitude that just might destroy his relationship with his girlfriend.

Now, had Uncle Jesse been privy to the teachings of Mr. Mannerz, he would have saved himself a wealth of embarrassment. Not everyone has access to the finest boarding schools in Switzerland or the most elite private schools on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. And although I highly recommend finishing school for everyone, it's not practical for the average person's wallet. However, there are prehistoric cave dwellers such as yourself who waste time at work downloading Boom Boom Pow or peaking at porn. If you're not doing actual work, shouldn't you be enriching yourself?

Enter Mr. Mannerz.

I'll be helping you with all of the things in life you ought to know. Some of you are more concerned with getting into the latest club in the tightest outfit—often resembling a bloated sausage; yet you think Crime and Punishment is the latest Law and Order imprint, can't distinguish one truffle from the next, or identify a Seurat painting. Since your mother didn't help and you spent most of your education on crystal meth, Mr. Mannerz is here to fill in the gaps.

Make me proud!
