Your best/favorite/cleverest words or phrases seen in a WB post

WB posters are an educated, strange, and clever bunch. Warren’s use of the word “senescent” in his recent TN, suggested a call for other favorites. I am nominating (from that same TN) the word “edentulous” and Warren’s clever use in the phrase "Long in the tooth (to the point of being edentulous)."

Education obviously only goes so far. Corey thinks that since I have no fur growing on my shins that I shave my legs and that all Califorians should have a golden suntan. You got the “strange” part right anyhow.

It’s best to keep Corey away from your legs

This is mine, as well, and I can never remember it when I want to freakin’ use it.

All of you are wrong, but most especially Brian.

The correct answer is “callipygian” used by the wonderful Davy Strange. The term means “having well-shaped buttocks.”

The note in which he first used the word:

NUITS-SAINT-GEORGES ‘CLOS DES FOURCHES’ 2007, DOMAINE JAQUES-FREDERIC MUGNIER
Lovely ripe cherry fruit here on this juicy, fleshy nose. It is not that sophisticated but quite babelicious and there is most definitely a place for tits out Pinot particularly when the winemaker is not charging the earth for them. I suppose there are hints of minerality also present on this nose but it is really the fruit which is tickling my aesthetes. The palate is extremely voluptuous for a village wine – well upholstered with luscious fruit and polished tannin. This is most certainly a really > callipygian > example of Nuits which makes me wonder about how ‘Nuits’ it really is; should we accept Nuits de chez Chambolle as a valid expression of the genre or demand them all to be a tad more butch than this. I’m not completely sure, but I am very happy relax my normally stringent standards and enjoy this scrumptiously succulent bottle of Burgundy.

A bit OT, but I could read Davy’s tasting notes all day. Only Mr. Levenberg is in the same stratosphere.

Davy certainly is in the stratosphere.
babelicious deserves mention also.

“Poor Faulkner. Does he really think big emotions come from big words?”

I will not fail.

Some savvy marketeer needs to work that into a viagra commercial…

I have claimed ownership. Back off.

Favorite thread title in Wine Forum: “Drinking Burg Wine with Weinburg.”

Yeah, Dave Strange gets my vote for best/favorite/cleverest notes.

Sentimental favorite phrase: Another shitty Oregon Pinot Noir.

Board ownership trumps all other ‘claims’ - bow to me

F.U. And your “penchant for gossip”.

Another clever post.

I loved that word use by Davy as well. Sent me (and I am certain others) running to the dictionary.

Great idea for a thread Jim. And yeah, I too had to look up callipygian.

But for best word, it’s hard to beat “excessibe”.

Oh, and “dead at retail”.
