Everyone has their own personal list of band names they will never use,
some of mine being agitpoppers Larry Holmes and his Pearls of Wisdom,
angst-daddy outfit Clairvoyant Doorman, and punk act The Runs (as in
"Get The Runs!"). Along the same lines, here are words I've long desired
to shoehorn into a review, but could never figure out a plausible way.
So updating my 2011 pledge to avoid my worst cliches, next year I
promise to use these words somewhere, appropriately or not:
Raiment
Sediment
Countermand
Samite
Paraquat
Vivacious or Vivacity
Kelp
Contumely
Satiated or preferably Satiety
Canter (I may use "cantor" too, but not figuratively)
Tendentious
Tawny (but I promise not to combine the above two into "tawndentious")
