flexuous \FLEK-shoo-uhs\, adjective:

• Full of bends or curves; sinuous.

Flexuous is derived from the Latin word flexuōsus which meant full of turns or crooked. This is an interesting example where the suffix changes the implication of the word. Unlike the more common word flexible, which means "capable of being bent" because of the suffix -ible, flexuous has the suffix, -ous meaning "full of."

WTF Friday: MILF disappointment

I have mentioned her before on this blog, Karin. that rich bitch. She was a MILF who used my office to write her monthly checks. It felt like a demeaning job for me especially for the low fee we charged. But on the other hand, she was sexy, flirty, and had that smoky voice that you loved hearing. That was nearly a decade ago. I ran into her about a block from my office. She looks like Iggy Pop now. Eek!

Sorry for party rockin, but YOU HAVE NO POWER HERE
