I like ‘vaguely cubical’. In fact, I think vaguely works well with just about any word, the more unexpected, the better – ‘vaguely pregnant’, for example, or ‘vaguely dead’, ‘vaguely on’, ‘vaguely off’, ‘vaguely adamant’, ‘vaguely specific’, ‘vaguely exact’, and so on. As with koans, and certain forms of humor, an unexpected association of words affords one a millisecond or so of confusion, and/or clarity, temporarily derailing one's thoughts and giving her or him a short break from an otherwise relatively predictable day.
So, just out of curiosity, does that put me in the ‘touchy-feely’ sphere, or the ‘prickly’ box?
