Quitessence

karenanne

Created by: karenanne

Pronunciation: kwit ES ens

Sentence: Now that she had learned she was soon going to be rich, Wilby Cand decided that it would be great fun to do all those things she had always fantasized about doing if she never had to work again. She slept in on Monday morning, then sent out a company-wide e-mail to let everyone know that she wasn't coming in because she "didn't feel like it" and anyway, "Work screws with my buzz." She went on to describe her distaste with her boss's body odor, in addition to some of his personal habits, such as picking his nose when he thought no one was looking. She said it was too bad that he would be in charge of the whole company soon, since the big boss was "probably about to be prosecuted for fraud and/or will die of extreme old age." The e-mail took her a while to write since she also took care to personally mention each of her incompetent colleagues. All in all, it was the quitessence of a perfect day, replete with gratuitous cattiness, embarrassing (for everyone else) revelations, and sweet revenge, not to mention the sleeping-in part. Only after that did she read the letter again and realize that it said that she "COULD BE a winner," not that she WAS a winner....

Etymology: quit + quintessence (the purest or most perfect example of something)

So many good words already. I'll have to think about this after I exit MPOW, and head for the carpark. (Only vehiciousexiting going on at this time of the day) I wonder if there will be even a minor thrill as I'm only leaving for a long weekend.

I heard this one years ago but I can't let the day go without passing it on to people who like funny word combos - Today is Star Wars Day - "May the 4th be with you"!!
