Help me lose my job
 
And talk to me on this thread, so I don't have to keep jumping back and forth between topics.

Actually, I seek your assistance - I'm writing a letter, and for some reason, my entire vocabulary has failed me. What are some synonyms for 'integral' and/or 'essential'?

Glice 04.11.2006 11:59 AM

Composite; immanent; sympatric (that's a stretch though)...

Hmm. I have failed somewhat.

I'm writing a personal statement for a job I don't want. Whoo. I HATE WRITING ABOUT MYSELF. I may put a bulletin out to everyone, saying how great I am, in order to exempt me from this piddlying bullshit.

Savage Clone 04.11.2006 12:00 PM

I could post some nice scat porn. That would probably do the trick.

Glice 04.11.2006 12:03 PM

It's funny, you know how sometimes things just aren't right... but there's never a bad time for scat porn. One of the mysteries of life, I guess.

Let me rephrase that: I need synonyms that are, er, more universally understood. I'm quite the fan of verbosity myself, but one must take into account the general public's variegated linguistic capabilities.

Dumb it down, boy!

On a somewhat related note, keep in mind that when marketing yourself, you have to whore it up a bit. If you quite accurately and justly portray yourself as the omniscient intellectual deity that you are, employers will believe you to be unattainable, and you will be tragically left to fester in the wake of those less talented, yet principally sluttier than yourself.

I work out of a fire station. Fucking on the premises is practically a prerequisite for employment.

yes, but fucking a homeless guy would really test the limits of their permissiveness, wouldn't it?

Savage Clone 04.11.2006 12:24 PM

It would test the limits of one's digestive system...

I've always liked intrinsic. Indispensible is nice enough, but it's not intrinsic. Say it with me: intrinsic.

that word reminds me of dream theater

Glice 04.11.2006 12:38 PM

The word 'biddlybiddlydibiddlywaaaarwaarbiddlydiddlydiddldi ddlebiddydwwaaaaaarng' reminds me of dream theater more.

I'm an aficionado of that word as well, but unfortunately, it doesn't fit. I KNEW I should've picked up word of the day toilet paper.

Praytell, what is the alternative to 'nice'?

Hip Priest 04.11.2006 12:44 PM

Vital? That's reasonably nice. There's desideratum, of course, but to my mind that's more a synonym for 'prerequisite' (another nice enough word) and thus has a slightly different feel from 'essential'.

You got to 500. Nice one.

Savage Clone 04.11.2006 12:49 PM

The alternative to nice is nasty.
Which can also be nice in its way, I suppose.

It reminds me of Cthulu or wathever is his name.

Savage Clone 04.11.2006 12:58 PM

"Vital?"

Yeah, vital. Nothing wrong with vital is there? Or is there?

The Bambi Slam are a vital part of my vinyl listening,
for example.

Savage Clone 04.11.2006 01:11 PM

Crucial,
or "crewsh" in slangness.

"Bambi Slam rocks some crewsh jams, brah."

you are right!!!

i should have said, the word reminded me of dream theater fans and how they talk "ohh, their music possesses a level of intrinsic musicianship hardly found in their contemporaries blah blah blah"

Can't see words like 'crewsh' going down too well on official letters though. Hey! Maybe that's the way for truncated to lose the job. Write all correspondence in slang. Pick a different argot for each day of the week, and maybe just be in character all day.

Glice 04.11.2006 01:25 PM

Excellent idea. I nominate Welsh for tomorrow. Specifically Swansea chav.

Hip Priest 04.11.2006 01:26 PM

Fine idea boyo, look you.

I'm not familiar with Swansea chav though. I could have a bash at Liverpool chav.

Iain 04.11.2006 01:26 PM

Newport chav is a finer calibre of chav though.

A finer calibre? Of CHAV?!?!?!? :eek::eek::eek::eek: Chavs all rank equal in my book.

Savage Clone 04.11.2006 01:28 PM

You people talk funny.

Glice 04.11.2006 01:31 PM

I love Bristol chav. It's not like northern chavs, who are incredibly similar. There's load of little quirks to the speech. It's great. Swansea chav similarly. "Fi fi fi passenger, right, I'm teylingk you, weyre gowna smash theym up proaapeyrly."

No, sorry, I don't understand.

jon boy 04.11.2006 01:41 PM

all i can think of is look for the inspiration from the bottle of a glass. filled with alchohol to begin with ofcourse.

truncated 04.11.2006 01:59 PM

I like "kev" better, personally.

Or Birmingham. There's also Ned's and, closer to my heart, townies.
