After subscribing per your kind assistance I received this morning my first AWAD weekly-theme bulletin. The topic is "fussbudget"

I am often mistaken for a fussbudget, although actually I am a curmudgeon. The lumpen curmudgeon such as I, owing to his mercurial perspicuity, often expressed as seemingly disputacious caviling, and especially with fribbling persiflage, evinces a form of humor often mistaken for dudgeon and considered meretricious by the contumacious. But I am a penitent curmudgeon, perenially burnishing his perfectibilian attributes in order to better effectuate his supposed puissance in the face of opprobrious and remorseless truculence

Do The Evolution







If your post is an example of evolution I'm willing to reconsider my opinion of creationism.

Could you please translate what you typed?

Nar: 15 min to 1/2 hour I guess. I get lost in these projects. Sometimes I sit from 8 am to 3 pm at the PC. What a waste of time

When I should be out pulling weeds, repairing the roof, patching the walls, and painting

But in answer to your question, translation: My casual banter gets me into trouble but I'm trying to improve

Anna: Perhaps it's an example of persiflage
