This week I found two words in the same sentence that I found interesting...
"Otiosity"
Source: "Burning Rainbow Farm: How a Stoner Utopia Went Up in Smoke" By Dean Kuipers
How it was used: Pg. 29 "In the shaded and halcyon otiosity of summer, it's Mayberry all over, an overgrowth of massive maples and old asphalt shingles and derelict."
Definition: (Adj.) 1. Being at leisure; idol; indolent
2. Ineffective or futile
3. Superfluous or useless
Sentence: While on vacation, the executive had an otiosity attitude.
The second word...
"Halcyon"
