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).

Boo Yah! Word of the day is baaaaaack! Thanks, DD! I am hungry for some learning!

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 ).

OMC...you are so correct! My right lip goes up!

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

...I know someone who can do it!

This is a pretty sanctimonious thread.

more like idle chit chat!
