I like my wine to be a bit insouciant, jejune but not particularly banal.
On a related note, after the County Council meeting last week, at which
I once again gently pointed out what fools the majority of them are, the
former Chairman, whom we got deposed after exposing his lies in 2
meetings I set up with him, chased me down as I was leaving the CC
meeting and presented me with a thesaurus, saying that my schtick on our
FB page was getting a little stale and I needed to find some more words
to use (I think he was referring to my characterization of him as
duplicitous and mendacious, so I guess I will have to start using
two-faced liar). I thanked him, then kindly suggested he could polish
his stand-up routine and we would have him come to another meeting
sometime soon, it would be great entertainment, we might even make a vid
of it so everyone could see it. That took him aback a bit, he tried to
recover but failed. The funny thing is, I bet he was thinking about
this for a whole week, and made a special trip to a bookstore to buy the
thing, and was all excited about it. What a little d*ck this guy is.
He knows we basically killed his political future so this is how he acts
now. I think it is awesome, yet pathetic.

When your brain knows just the right word, you can be more concise.
And sometimes you can slip in the verbal dagger without the victim
understanding what you’ve done.
*Insouciant*
When you want to say the defendants in the medical malpractice case
just don’t give a damn, you can label their procedures insouciant.
Insouciant translates from French as “uncaring.” Insouciance
encapsulates the essence of negligence.
Specious
The law is a learned profession, right? So you would never call your
opponent a liar. But you might assert that their arguments are specious.
Banal
You (and the judge) have heard this (specious?) argument a hundred
times. It’s trite. It’s boring. You could say, “Counsel’s banal
assertion does not justify the position set forth in this case.” This
word is correctly pronounced as many as three ways, though the
preferred pronunciation rhymes with “canal.”

Winston Churchill:
“Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or
petty,
never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.
Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the
enemy.”
