Summer classes are beginning....

sanc?ti?mo?ni?ous (sāngk'tə-mō'nē-əs)
adj. Feigning piety or righteousness: "a solemn, unsmiling, sanctimonious old iceberg that looked like he was waiting for a vacancy in the Trinity" (Mark Twain).

I bet the Sanctimonious would never celebrate National Nude Day.

Or, French Fry Day or any other day. Hey, anyone know someone who is sanctimonious?

 

[Lake View Too]

French Fry Day and National Nude Day certainly don't go together (Ouch!) but sanctimonious certainly is a grand word. I hereby sanctimoniously say it could be the grandest of words!

I dare not point a finger because I found the definition all too often in the mirror.

No, they watch other people celebrate it and pretend to be outraged instead of titillated. :roll:

French Fry day + Nude Day is a bad combo - like ironing naked, bad burns can result!

Do you know it's impossible to say the word "sanctimonious" with a smile? Say it. It comes out of your mouth like a snarl. Such a wonderful descriptive word (in a perverse kind of way ).

Also: It's kind of hard to call somebody sanctimonious without sounding sanctimonious.
