      I had to look up escarpment. How do you regularly have the opportunity to use that word?

      Last time I remember getting shit for using it, I was streaming on Twitch and randomly forgot the word "cliff". Heh.

      The viewers (all two of them, lol) responded with "indubitibly"s and the "like a sir" rage faces. Lol.

      That was probably... 3 years ago? I'm sure I've used it at least a few times since then, but I can't remember a specific time aside from talking about the aforementioned incident.

                    Overmorrow. No more of this "the day after tomorrow" nonsense.

                    And by extension, words like overWednesday, for the second Wednesday from now. Or overweek and overmonth.

                          Melancholy. It just sounds so nice. It rolls off the tongue so well and it's just a beautiful word.

                                A derogatory term for people who want to make things good. Yep, sounds like politics.
