Ensconce

Quote

It's a shame that this is the tease because I want more, it's a story that I want to sit and enjoy, a time period that I want to ensconce myself in.

Its purpose was to ensconce visiting warmongers in elegant lodgings while they priced munitions.

As it stands, China will definitely need to convince the five littoral states of its benign intentions.

Barnburner (I was going to pass up yesterday's word-of-the-day, until I saw was it was--sorry for the delay)

Quote

Steele has only had 1 of his 9 bouts go to a decision so his fight with Hall is shaping up to be a barnburner as neither man likes to go for the decision.

Quote

Twice in his barnburner campaign speech this week, Obama likened his administration to Republican Dwight Eisenhower's in asserting that he's got domestic spending on a path to be the lowest, as a share of the economy, since Ike was president.

Quote

I fancy I shall have sufficient ingenuity to reverse the process, or better still, to hide the ravages of despair beneath a layer of fard.

Quote

Moreover, his ideas are very disturbing - for example he thinks that a headscarf is not fard and it's enough just to wear modest clothes and so on.

Germinal

Quote

But you could feel the organic probing of this germinal little figure, wiggling relentlessly on its evolutionary way from start to finish.

Quote

Where the first triptych, simply titled Electric Flower EP, is a little shakier and germinal under the microscope, the second threesome, conveniently called Electric Flower EP II, proves a more robust man-eating disease.

Quote

The other half is solving puzzles, some of which hide their solutions in plain sight, while others taunt players with obtuse, seemingly indecipherable clues.

http://opinion.publicfinance.co.uk/2012/04/tax-and-mend/

Quote

The continuing furore over the Budget--ranging from charitable giving to pasties--reflects the enormous complexity of the world's most obtuse tax system.

I know, I just like to try to figure out what a word mean from context. Its way funner!

Then I give up and look at the definition, which in this case had nothing to do with turkeys or beds.

On the other hand, the very same strangeness may not only pique our interest, but blossom into xenophilia--an intrigued, fascinated love of that which is different.
