TWOTD. Wednesday. July 10, 2014. VITUPERATIVE. For some bizarre reason, I love the word VITUPERATIVE. Which is odd, because Im not really a fan of ..sustained and bitter railing and condemnation. I think it first came to my attention when reading a historical account of how Senator Charles Sumner made a VITUPERATIVE verbal attack on slavery and southern Senator Preston Brooks from South Carolina. In return, Senator Brooks famously caned Senator Sumner nearly to death. I havent had any use for South Carolina ever since. Sumner recovered. Brooks suffered a horrible and painful death, choking to death from the croup. Somehow that gave me a measure of satisfaction. Now if I could only figure out how to squeeze VITUPERATIVE into conversation without getting the hell beat out of me. Have a great day everybody. TWOTD.
