And you can google ultracrepidarian and get about 206 hits, including an ultracrepidarian.org site. Now, boys, really. I was just kidding.  When I'm kidding , must I use always these little smiling face icons ? My fervent belief on the subject of what we really are here on AWAD is a bunch of wasters-off-time. Not quite procrastinators because I don't think we're necessarily putting off anything that should be done instead of reading as we do here. And I also fervently believe that we're a happy band because we're met a bunch of people who like wasting time thinking about the same kinds of things we like thinking about and wasting our time over. Now what is the word for a waster-of-time, one who fiddles around all the day, just having fun? Not exactly a hedonist, but one involved in trivial pursuits? But I do like knowing that we are also ultracrepidarians and proud of it! I wouldn't mind having a little badge, Faldage, that read: I'm an Ultracrepidarian and Proud of It!

I couldn't possibly agree with any one term. In fact I'm absolutely positively certain there isn't one and never will be.

...ah, Doc, your comment cracked me up, and yours, Jazz, just made me hope you haven't lost your sense of humor! I sure do hope you were daydreaming part of that time you were in the studio! And better still if you were fiddlin' around there, too! Oh, I do have lovely dreams of a certain wind tunnel back in the 60s...and great fiddlin' around there....

>AWADer. We all do it...
Who's the we, kiwisabe? For myself, I like to try and live by the mantra uttered by David Byrne, "when I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed. Say something once, why say it again?" Other than offering a personal, subjective, opinion, the only time I venture to make a pronouncement here is when I am certain of its veracity. If I am only mostly certain, I keep shtum.
Yours defiantly,
An AYLEUR and proud of it.
