Kudos to Glitterbag:
Words.
So many of them that sound so cool. And mixed together, they could make a tasty meal.

Oh, you can add extra words to make a sentence,

Enjoy!

First of I would like to thank Neologist for turning my offhand remark into something fun. I hope everyone finds some enjoyment or a few chuckles when or if you join in.
I have a favor to ask, could those of us who can occasionally be jerks, try to avoid insulting the participants. We know who we are, let's just have some fun.
@glitterbag,
On this thread, those who insult might be treated to a.
Sardonic retort.
@neologist,
With a nod to Spiro Agnew, "Eschew obfuscation."
or ....
"Nattering nabobs of negativism"

Generated by his faithful but bitter speechwriter Happy Pants Buchanan, a whirling dervish of spitting scorn.
