Deven’s Favorite Words

Accentuating–making anything better by doing it in a silly accent

Agenda–a list of stuff to do, like eat pudding, prank Dad, and outwit Mr. Isaak

Almanac–a book that tells you when stuff happens on the calendar, like when Random Noise goes on tour or when the Urban Space Pirates update comes out.

Ambivalence–when you can’t decide which meme is best for driving your teacher crazy

Arterial–a street that goes somewhere so people are trying to go somewhere on it and they get mad when you block it with your tank (see Maneuverability).

Articulate–how cool I sound when using a goblin-voice synthesizer. (Weirdly, it has nothing to do with art.)

Chicanery–like when you’ve got a shirt full of candy but you come up with an artful escape by pretending to be Santa Claus.

Diabolical–something that reminds you of the devil, like bluegrass music or Mr. Isaak’s beard.

Dyspepsia–a dystopia of the stomach.

Dystopia–when the world is so wrong that everybody notices right away and people write a book or make a movie about it because it is fun to think about when you’re not in it.

Empathetic–like when somebody is all pathetic, but you totally get them anyway and let them in your circle of infamy.

Enigma–a puzzle that can’t be solved, like who designed Dad’s golf pants and why

Enumerate–when you make a list with numbers like: Stuff to Keep in My Backpack for Emergencies:

                        1. Extra hair

                        2. Nani’s dal kachori

                        3. Rubber chicken

Facilitate–to make something easier, like how holding a Talking Stick will make it easier to get people to listen to your jokes.

Geodesic–this totally sick way of making a dome by using straight sticks.

Hygienic–like when you take your muddy shoes off before you put your feet on the table.

Impressionable–like when you believe your mom about a funny word app and it turns out to be a way to study S.A.T. vocabulary words.

Inclusive–when everybody has to attend the pep assembly whether you are interested in pep or not

Luminescent–glowy, like a laser cat.

Maneuverability–when you can make turns and go backwards. Something the Dudes Tank doesn’t have.

Manifesto–when somebody writes down all the crazy and stupid stuff they’re thinking and posts it for everyone to judge after they are dead from doing something crazy and stupid.

Multifarious–running a food fight, a brainwashing scheme, and a fake eighth-grader at the same time.

Ostracism–keeping people out in the mean way–not for security. Except, you should probably ostracize bad guys too. Only then it’s not mean, I guess. (It’s not about ostriches unless someone is mean to them. Like, the popular birds could ostracize the ostriches and not let them hang out with the flock.)

Pulchritudinous–a way to bug Teresa by complementing her using too many letters

Splendiferous–how great it would be to have a laser cat
