mulct: /muhlkt/

–verb (used with object)
1. to deprive (someone) of something, as by fraud, extortion, etc.; swindle.
2. to obtain (money or the like) by fraud, extortion, etc.
3. to punish (a person) by fine, esp. for a misdemeanor.
–noun
4. a fine, esp. for a misdemeanor.


how to use in casual conversation:

"i've never been mulcted quite like that before"
"i went to this party, and everyone was mulcting each other, it was awkward"

not to be confused with:

mulch

how it makes me feel:

in a word: bleggghhhh. this word is kinda gross. it reminds me of one of those really extreme sex acts involving someones rectum (damn near killed 'em) that you hear about so much about on the intertubes. it feels like it should be the name for what was happening on that 'two girls one cup' video. remember that? yeesh. not that there's anything wrong with that, i mean everybody has there own thing that they're into - but mulct feels icky to say. not only is the -lct ending awkward but the 'mu-' part just makes it feel like you just walked into a sex club to find your significant other contorted into a position you never would have though them capable, much less willing to put themselves into and surrounded by strangers doing things the marquee de sade would have been impressed with and the only thing they can manage to say to you is "we need to talk". which as we all know is one of the worst things you can hear when you're in a relationship and words that you should never say to another human being you're in a relationship with. speaking of which....

we need to talk:

right, so i got this new job. i'm excited. i'm pretty sure it's going to be fucking amazing. but my ability to blog will possibly be hampered by the fact that i might actually want to make a contribution to the overall harmony and functioning of the company i am to be working for. in other words, i think i'm gonna like this job and i don't want to screw it up by screwing off on the internet for the first hour of the day like i do now, at least not yet. so that leaves us with a few options.
  • do entries as i am able too, even if posted later in the day or if a day gets skipped here or there.
  • "what are you ambitious now!? f' your job, give me my posts!"
  • retire it - we've had a good run
  • retire it - i hate this blog anyways
  • pass it off to someone with better grammar and spelling
being that you all's entertainment is the main reason i do this, i suppose what you think matters. so up there on the left of the WOTDuh page is a poll. you're input and feedback on the matter is appreciated. thanks, and have a sweet weekend.
