You know, real quick, I was driving my daughter back from volleyball last night. Got no sleep, didn't get home to 11, nightmare. But I'm helping her with her vocab. She's a vocab quiz. Okay. And some of these words, like bastion. Okay. You use that word. You know, a bastion of useless knowledge or whatever. You don't use it every day. No, no, no, but you might use it. You might use it occasionally and counter it. There are some words that they're forcing these kids to learn that are beyond absurd. One, I think was, I'm not even sure I'm saying it correctly. It was like exgenicity or something like that. And it meant basically like urgently.

Okay.

And I've said, you're never going to use that word. You're going to say urgently. Right. I'm sure I'm mispronouncing it. It was something like exgenicity. Something like that. Okay. Then there was another word. There was a couple others that was like, okay, yeah, easy. I get that. I get that'll explain that one to you. I'll use it in a sentence for you.

She gave me this word.

Puselanamus.

I've never heard that word. It basically means being a wuss.

Being a P word. If you look it up, that's a real word. Yes. Pussilanimous or something. Puselanimous, fearful. Yeah. I said, you know what I said? It means being a, yeah. Other synonyms. Afraid, chicken, cowardly. Right. I mean, it's basically the definition of being a P word. Timorous. But you're never going to use that word. You're not going to use it on the SAP. It's most of school. No, I know, but this is... Most of school. No, no, no. This is beyond the pale. No one listening to this radio station right now. Okay, this is what, 50,000 watt station, people listen to this show all over the world.

No one's ever used the word pusillanimous.

Never.

It's never happened.

Why would they put it on a vocab quiz for a high school kid?

It's a useless, it's a word, it's, nobody uses it. It's a, it's a borderly fictitious. I don't know. It was just, to me, I was just like blowing my brains out that she's memorizing it. She's putting on a note card. She's got to look up how to use it in a sentence. She's going to waste of time. She's going to remember that word forever now. Oh, yeah.

I bet you she'll use it.

She'll use it.

It's burned in her brain now.

I told her how to use it.

Because of that event in her life.

I mean, with modern technology,

I don't even know why you teach multiplication tables at this point.
