With another semester coming on, I thought I would offer some fun adjectives that, with a little creativity, can spice up almost any piece of writing (although good luck trying to use the words "vorpal" and "winsome" in your next chemistry lab report.)
The List:
Melancholy
Sad; Gloomy
Inane
Void or destitute of sense; silly, senseless; empty-headed (Oxford English Dictionary)
Voluptuous
Of or pertaining to gratification of the senses. Luxuriously sensuous. (Oxford English Dictionary)
Vorpal
Deadly; Tending to cause decapitation. First used by Lewis Carroll in his poem "Jabberwocky"
Winsome
Delightfully charming; Optimistic

if you ever write an editorial for TRR, I'll give you five dollars if you use the words "vorpal" and "voluptuous" in the same sentence, no fooling.
