Words that could be used more frequently

[ciao_yall]

fallacious   

(heard in an MIT OCW lecture on probability)

I hear that one all over the place, and it's almost always misused. Much like 'valid' or 'invalid', 'sound', and 'begs the question'.

Except whenever I hear that word I think "fellatio" and giggle.

Ditto, except 'phallacious'

My friend informs me that his 20-something woke daughter says we must not use the word 'exotic' any more. It implies that things that are familiar to white people are the norm and things that are less familiar are strange or interesting in a strange way. Which is kinda how life is. So I'm going to use the word 'exotic' if the opportunity comes along. But not pejoratively.
