. . . As for the rest of you, you are not taking this sufficiently seriously.

Sufficiently seriously is exactly how baby tuckoo has taken this, which is why he has belatedly responded due to his fragging professional responsibilities now.
I've smirkingly (I'm just a baby) used
"pleonasm" to refer to an outburst of wordiness:
"The reason why is because . . . " is a frequent example I see in student writing. I thank
Ms. Frelga for her re-velation of the word, and I'd like to submit the chronic version of the same:
logorrhea, which is not a sea turtle and from which I don't suffer, not even if you insist.
David Foster Wallace be danged, my Random House Unabluted (don't look for it in your Petite!) defines
"logorrhea" as "pathologically repetitious speech," similar to that brought on by Tequila, and inversely similar to that vengeful version brought on by microbes in unfamiliar water.
I thank
the Maiden for her dredging up of the "avuncular," which perfectly describes the honourable
Walter Cronkite, but not me, or Holby, so don't expect our wills to remember you, not in this life cycle.
Brian, my precious poacher, I love your abuliation on that "bad" 19th century novel, which I think I've read, as have I suffered abulia, but not here.
It stinks.
Someone change me.
