Next time you go off a diving board, make sure its into your own pool; mine is empty at the moment (and learn how to use a thesaurus).
Hmmm... Questionable and certainly not anywhere near being a standard usage. I forget that you, like many other autodidacts, are on a never ending quest to sound sophisticated. Archaizing language and obscure usages are dead giveaways.
The Oxford English Dictionary lists this usage as "obsolete." Next time you go dirt diving in the land of English diction, think again. You only end up looking like the tool you really are.
Nice save Trevor, for a lib who most likely doesn't have a very large or creative vocabulary, which is usually a function of the average leftist's limited intellectual depth. I learned a lot of Latin terms and phrases from reading NR for many years. I like to use those too, but every time I do, I get called either an elitist or a pseudo intellectual trying to sound sophisticated.
When dealing with the average secular leftist/humanist, I'm beginning to think that the best linguistic course to pursue would be to rely almost solely on profanity. I could also use pomobable, which would make me sound very sophisticated. But of course, that meta-language is not intended to convey useful information, but to cement class membership in an abstruse ideological academic niche.
So, now that we know that I've got a larger and more varied vocabulary than you, I'll be sure not to confuse you with any further uses of big words or obtuse usage. Your hebetudinous posts have become rather tiresome.
