No, not that I recall. I can think of many times, though, when it would have the about the most [b]perfect [/b] word to use in a conservation...to describe how I felt about something.
@originnone @originnone I did not learn much in my geometry class. That same year, the girls from the area junior high schools started attending the centralized senior high in my town. I called them the "farm girls." They were a lot more worldly-wise then the local, girls. My hormones kicked in that year, and I had a rough year, academically.
@ProfessorPlum77 I had three years of advanced math and got a physics degree, and I STILL don't think I could get better than a C in high school geometry....
Yes. Back when I was a kid, my other would occasionally exclaim, "I was quite nonplussed," about some situation that struck her as odd, unexpected and confusing. My father insisted on "looking glass" for mirror, and "scent" for perfume. He was born in 1902. These are tiny examples of how language changes over time.
