New word to live by: “festidious”
Every now and then there comes a need for a new word. Toward that end, we here at Booker’s Blog will from time to time put forth new words for consideration. We hope you will give them their proper consideration, and if you find them useful, bring them like a new friend into your daily life.
New word: festidious:
A combination of fastidious and fetish.
Fastidious, adj., hard to please; excessively particular, critical, or demanding
Fetish, n., any object, idea, etc., eliciting unquestioning reverence, respect, or devotion: to make a fetish of high grades.
Festidious: a fastidious fetish, near irrational adherence to rules, ideas, persons, body parts, etc.
Used in a sentence: He was festidious to the point of obsurdity (another new word) in the way he folded and put away his underwear. If there was any woman who could understand him and please him in this area, he would marry her, even if he had to festidiously force her into it.

New words to live by: Obsurd
New word for consideration in the next release of the Oxford English Dictionary or Webster’s Dictionary, or even the old tattered-edge dictionary your grandma uses to hold open the screen door.
New word:
Obsurd. This word is combination of:
Obscure: inconspicuous or unnoticeable. Maybe indistinct to the sight or any of the other senses; not easily felt, heard, seen, etc.
and
Absurd: obviously senseless or existing in an irrational or meaningless world.
So, Obsurd, n. inconspicuous or unnoticed senselessness. Sometimes also referred to as obsurdity, as in the obsurdity of life.
To use in context: As Henry David Thoreau said: The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.
Modern corollary: The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation, toiling endlessly and in obsurdity.
Or, go forth and do obsurd things.
