Whoops, haven't made one of these in awhile. My bad. Thanks to those who have been submitting words, though. Shows your interest. I'll try to work all the ones I deem worthy in at some point.

I'm having trouble getting vocaroo to work right now, so, no vocal pronunciations today, unless I can figure something out.

The following word was submitted by Pendulate:
Lackadaisical - /LAK - uh - DAY - zih - kuhl/
Derived from the archaic interjection "lackaday", meaning "feebly sentimental"

maaaaaaan

this is a very long word

i don't feel like typing it all out again

let alone explaining what it means

you know what, i don't even care

it means lazy and apathetic as fuck
if you're feeling lackadaisical, you just don't... give a shit... about anything

Gregarious - /greh - GEH - ree - us/
From the Latin gregarius, meaning "of or like a flock"

Oh, wow. Suddenly, I feel a lot more peppy! It's like I want to just invite all my friends over and just talk about... stuff! It's been awhile, actually--I wonder what they've all been up to? Oh, I need to ask someone if they've seen that movie I've been telling them about! Maybe tomorrow, we can go out to see it. That sounds great!

If you're gregarious, you're sociable. You like company. You get along well with others. You know how to carry a conversation. Some people indulge themselves in some alcohol to make themselves more gregarious.

Abstemious - /ahb - STEE - mee - uhs/
abstemiousness
From the Latin ab-, meaning "non-", and temetum, meaning "strong drink"

On the flipside, maybe you don't need alcohol to be gregarious. Maybe you're an ascetic, or straight-edge, and you've taken an intellectual or philosophical stance against indulging in such substances. You are abstemious. Whether it be alcohol, sex, or even food, if you abstain from partaking in any of those vices, you could be described as an abstemious individual. Given the haughty nature of the term, it would best be used to describe those who act arrogantly superior about their own abstemiousness.

Note how it kinda sounds like the verb "abstain", or the noun "abstinence".

Trying to find ways to interconnect all the words in some way, so things can come full circle at the end.
