last week's word winner:

asseverate

good call everyone. not only is asseverate an 'ass-' word which are always fun but douceur is pretty close to douche which taken in either it's literal of colloquial usage is not fun. ever seen that show tool academy? we watched an episode on our lunch break at work. i havent seen one since but i must say it was kind of intense. i wonder if those guys know how much fun is being made at their expense. even scarier is that some poor schlubs are probably envious of those dudes. *shivers* i mean yeah they could beat me up but bruises heal and chicks dig scars. that's what i heard on 'the simpsons' anyways...
