Back on the bike for 30min of spinning last night. Not much, but at least the door has been unlocked again. All good.

What exactly was the highlight of the election coverage? Some people may have missed it, especially since it lasted less than a full second, the lime it takes to say a single word, potentially even smothered by the sound of a single bite of pizza.

Anyone not watching the ABC’s coverage would have missed it completely, but right in the middle of an ‘ad hoc’ piece of conversation, Annabel Crabb dropped “egregious”. She did her best to act as if it just rolled straight from the super-highway of her most recently resonating neural pathways to her lips, but everyone tuning in knew that she had brought that word along in the kit-bag and was just searching for an opportunity to throw it in. Sent me scurrying for the iPad, and apparently it is “conspicuously bad or offensive”.

Obviously Annabel knew in advance that something during the election was going to be conspicuously bad or offensive, even if its just a rehashed reference to a pollie with his penis in a glass. Clearly that’s egregious.

Which makes me wonder, what is the world’s greatest word?

Ø  Foppish, meaning Hugh Grant

Ø  Masticate, simply for the fun of it.

Ø  Mindfulness, just because I like it.

Ø  Kakistocracy, meaning the NRL Commission

One day there’ll be a definitive list, and egregious will be a starter for sure.
