new words # 7,459

OK - my wordsmith and the New Yorker are kicking my ass lately; here's the latest list:

1. Prolixity = boring verbosity

2. QED = (I'm not even SURE here what definition to use!) but I'll guess - Abbreviation for quod erat demonstrandum (Latin, meaning "“which was to be proved"”)

3. Orotund = marked by fullness, strength and clarity or sound; sonorous. 2. pompous; bombastic.

4. Insouciant = casual: marked by blithe unconcern.
