I swear that once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away, I once was decent with my vocabulary.
I have noticed, however, that in the last few years...it's shot. I blame the "KISS" method (Keep It Simple, Stupid) from prior years, but that's just an excuse.
Today confirmed it, when I tried to make a joke and it failed. I was in a [boring] meeting that I sat to sit through until the end, even though my stuff was only going to take less than 30 seconds to get through. Basically the Host of the meeting said that he was "punishing" me because the other person on the same project as I left for a dental appointment.
Anyhoo, once my turn was done a couple of jokes were made towards "my punishment" and so I attempted to joke back by saying "I found the entire meeting so riveting that I think we should do this every week"
Well, they laughed, but because I used the word in the wrong context.
Anyone else have a stinky vocab??
