Most Erudite Poster - Word of the Week Competition

Noice, I type as my inebriate eyes perform a saccadian dance across the pixellated medium that entrances and befuddles my cognitive sentience, bereft as I am of coherent sensibility to enunciate my cognitive processes in such a way as to relate some type of lucid acuity to these disparate thoughts that transgress my cerebral neurosphere.

Goodness me Cyclo, you have used up about 3 months worth of Words of the Week in one post! Awesome performance.

I think I have tapped into a rich vein of hitherto suppressed articulacy and grammatical correctness with this thread.

This could carry us over the lean rugby days of summer.

My eyes performed a saccade as they scanned over the last two posts, which at first glance appear to divagate well off the general thrust of discussion to date on this thread.

Notwithstanding, I to would be interested in seeing a live stream of this match, but only if it is not raining or snowing.

I have given up hope on foxtel.

Word of the Week - Week 3

gallivant, v;
1. To wander about, seeking pleasure or diversion; gad.
2. To go about with members of the opposite sex.


The Rules are fairly simple.

Use the Word of the Week in a post on "RUGBY DISCUSSION" or "GRASSROOTS".
Competitors wishing to claim "Word of the Week" points should have to simply cut and paste a copy of their post from "Rugby Discussion" or "Grassroots" Forum in the "Word of the week" thread for it to be counted.

One entry per person per week will count. If a poster wants to use a second post in lieu of a previous entry, then overwrite the previous entry with the "edit post" functionality.

Bonus points may be awarded for the manner in which the Word of the Week has been deployed. Similarly Points may be deducted for inappropriate use of the Word of the Week, or Trying too hard.

also I think Gooch has got some points this week referring to Giteau as gallivanting around Europe after RWC11.

I was talking to my mate, Ivan. He reckons Giteau should stay as he is going to surprise us all and rediscover vintage form in 2011, ous Cooper from the Wallabies, and make us all eat our weasel-words of crabbing, selfishness and general crapulence. I said "You've got some gall, Ivan, that's for sure". He agreed, Giteau would go, and was just winding me up.

(apologies for my sad and desperate use of word of the week!!)

Thought I'd use it a bit laterally this week.
