sibylline: /sib-uh-lean/
1. of, resembling, or characteristic of a sibyl; prophetic
2. mysterious
3. this guy....
how to use in casual conversation:
"it turns out that all that whining you did last month about it 'not feeling like summer' was incredibly sibylline."
not to be confused with:
alabastrine
how it makes me feel:
it kinda makes me feel like i'm looking at a whale in a g-string and when i say whale i mean the water mammal not as in a mean-way-of-telling-someone-something-they-already-probably-know. that is, i don't really know what anyone expects me to do with it. it's like a set of fireplace tools when you don't own a fireplace. it's like a million spoons when all you need is a knife. no, wait, that's ironic. don't you think? actually that isn't all that ironic. that's what happens when you bring a steak to an ice cream social, you fucking twit! (no, that wasn't a typo) and btw, most of that album is uncle joey's fault.
long story short: i'd rather just use the word 'prophetic'.
