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.

OT offering
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.”
