I Love Discovering New Words (Especially when I am lost for words to describe somethng)

Today's word Ineffable

What does it mean to be ineffable?

Ineffable means too great or intense to be described or expressed in words; it is inexpressible. It can describe something like beauty or joy that is so profound it defies language, or a concept that is so sacred or overwhelming it cannot be spoken of

Sammy Cahn wrote the lyrics for the old standard Call Me Irresponsible. His reasons why he chose the words that he did - - -

INTERVIEWER: Is there a song that you've written that you're proudest of the ones you were able to come up with?

CAHN: Yes. The one I tell everyone, the one I'm very, very proud of is "Call Me Irresponsible." Simply because I want to say and it's not as facetious as it sounds. It has five syllable words in it. (Singing) Call me unpredictable. Tell me I'm impractical. I said five syllable words from a fellow who came from a one syllable neighborhood.

I am now going to impetuously and irrationally finish my morning by quaffing a few jiggers of booze... all thanks to you!

@rinkydinkydoink Something tells me you were not a prohibitionist before we interacted, but please do not drink so much as to induce regurgitation!

My friend...may your happiness ever increase monotonically [pronounced in 5 syllables!].

Eclectic is a good one as well, as we’re talking Es. Mind you, I’m not sure if I spelled it right or not! 😆
