And the winner is...

I really enjoyed this word. I used it several times this weekend and impressed myself. Everyone else just looked and nodded.

This week's winner is:

maureen: "After two years of servitude to a certain cell phone company and countless phone conversations with mind-numbingly obtuse employees, I have come to believe that the newly hired must attend classes in the art of subterfuge and tergiversation, for in this arena they are quite simply...genius."

Genius, indeed. Acceptance speech, please.
