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 "resisting authority or control; not obedient or compliant". A synonym could be "balk".<br></div><div dir="ltr"> Another word that has come in handy many times, especially at parties, is "calipygous". I use it in conversation whenever possible.
