Word of the Day: supererogatory

February 29, 2008 · 3 Comments

I get the word of the day regularly showing up across the top of my GMail account.  And today’s word I’m sure is one of Mary Poppins’ favorites, supererogatory.

Personally, I think the word itself is a supererogatory.  But I suggest we all try to use it today and confuse your friends, family and co-workers.

    Oh, absolutely … especially because I’ll be meeting wtih my book group tonight, and so many things about this book we’ve read are totally supererogatory!

    … but to have failed so miserably! I said ’supererogatory’ over and over in my head until lunch time … and then my day got the better of me and by the time I got to book group, all I could remember was that it started with an ’s’ and seemed unnecessarily (supererogatorially?) long!

    God invented hands for a reason. Write on them.
