X-Traordinary's Words

X knows that his job is, and always will be, to join together with friends to form words; creating the perfect language for mankind. Sometimes it frustrates him to hear this language misused. He hates the word SHAME when it is hissed from someones lips. The SSSHHH suggesting that one is such an embarrassment that they should be neither seen nor heard. The word CONDESCEND bothers him too. It seems to infer that one is conniving to descend into the deceit that others are beneath them. He grieves over the beautiful word PAGAN which was created to represent the simple agricultural people who worked the fields with their hands, supporting themselves with their crops. Now demonized to mean one who is a non believer. Sometimes X dislikes a word for no reason at all. PRAGMATIC has always stuck in his throat. He doesn't know what it means nor does he care. He simply hates the feel and taste of it on his tongue.

I feel sorry for the word PAGAN, too, and I really don't like being "sshh'ed"
