Pronunciation: DEE cor ridg ib ul

Sentence: It's not often that we get to stare into the Sun and feel good about it after, and this certainly wasn't one of those times for Darian. His decorrigibility still astounded his brother on new levels, his rIcarus feat less successful with the assistance of plexiglass eyewear.

Etymology: de + corrigible de is pretty obvious. i picked corrigable, because i think that once you've made the mistake, you can learn from it, but then you unlearn from it and commit it again, so that's how you know it's stupid even when you repeat it.

COMMENTS:

forgot to weave in "repetitive brain injury", but I'm sure verbotomists are too clever to have arrbeeaye and would have figured it out anyway. - petaj, 2007-06-07: 03:32:00

I somehow assumed the etymology would include something about overeating Arby's and paying for it later. God knows it's impossible not to. - jadenguy, 2007-06-07: 09:11:00

This evokes images of Long John Silver - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-07: 13:37:00

I'm afraid it's baseball season and I only saw "runs batted in". - mplsbohemian, 2007-06-07: 15:18:00

Never heard of Arby's. Sounds like some undesirable franchise we don't need in Australia. - petaj, 2007-06-07: 22:28:00

He would rent a room,hold up a gas station and look up his old flame Babs....Yes, that's the ticket! He was sure she'd take him back, and together they could DUHHPLICATE all the great times they had before he got cirrohsis and she fell off the Harley.Yes! Yes!
