Word of the Day, 12/2: Circumambulate

[BushMogulMaster]

I was helping my little sister with a homework assignment, and was looking a few things up. I came across my new favorite word: circumambulate.

Circumabulate: To walk, usu. around.

Usage: "Young man, circumambulate directly to your room!"

-or-

"It is healthy to engage in daily circumambulatory sessions."

-or-

"My goodness, darling, wasn't that a fantastic circumambulation?"

 

[Marc]

I might use that at the meeting I'm going to this morning-

"Well, you were able to circumambulate that question with your usual eloquence."

 

[ctenidae]

I find circumambulaters to be the sort of people that use retroactive elevators. They also tend to masticate their food, and the worst of them slumber on their pillows.
