WORD OFF!

logorrhea:

1. pathologically incoherent, repetitious speech.
2. incessant or compulsive talkativeness; wearisome volubility.


vs.

pink(verb):

1 a : to perforate in an ornamental pattern b : to cut a saw-toothed edge on
2 a : pierce, stab b : to wound by irony, criticism, or ridicule

so it may not seem like a fair fight. but when you consider the value of using the word 'pink' as a verb, it just might have a fighting chance against logorrhea.

i've noticed that the word that tends to win is the one i bash the least. so this week i'm going to limit my comments in order to let the voting process take a more organic course.

google-readerites: don't forget to vote!

last weeks word winner:

malapropism
