<div class="aolmail_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif""> I drove my TR3 to work the other morning. When I left my home at o'dark thirty it was in the mid-50's and I wore a leather coat. I live at about the mile high elevation in the southern Sierras. When I left my work in Mojave that afternoon, it was 109 degrees. The car interior felt hotter and hotter inside as I drove and I was looking forward to getting up the hill to cooler temperatures. Soon thereafter I ran across a new proper English word - "Calescent" which means "growing warm; increasing in heat". I also enjoy using the word "Recalcitrant" to describe the TR's too-fast-a-shift from 1st to 2nd, "recalcitrant" meaning <span class="aolmail_ydp70ea1781one-click">"resisting</span><span class="aolmail_ydp70ea1781css-9sn2pa"> </span><span class="aolmail_ydp70ea1781one-click">authority</span><span class="aolmail_ydp70ea1781css-9sn2pa"> or </span><span class="aolmail_ydp70ea1781one-click">control;</span><span class="aolmail_ydp70ea1781css-9sn2pa"> </span><span class="aolmail_ydp70ea1781one-click">not</span><span class="aolmail_ydp70ea1781css-9sn2pa"> </span><span class="aolmail_ydp70ea1781one-click">obedient</span><span class="aolmail_ydp70ea1781css-9sn2pa"> or </span><span class="aolmail_ydp70ea1781one-click">compliant</span>". A synonym could be "balk".</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="aolmail_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif""> Another word that has come in handy many times, especially at parties, is "calipygous". I use it in conversation whenever possible. Usually, ladies say "thank-you" for the compliment and then go home and look it up.</span></div>

<div class="aolmail_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif""> A word I haven't seen used on the Triumphs list recently would be "Fluif". I can't remember who used that misspelling two decades ago, but it has still stuck in my vocabulary. Who was that? Are you still on the list? I think that his name was Joe-something.</span></div>
