More things I like!

Some words that are delightful to use:

-rumble (as in fight)

-cockamamie

-shenanigans

-dodgy

And the big winner of the day goes to-
sheeple!
Since most of you are probably thinking What the hell is a sheeple right now, here it is in a sentence, as I first saw it, on b-offensive's website
   "Since the vast majority of the American populace is comprised of blathering idiots, we've made four "Amendment T-shirts" to highlight to the sheeple what we believe to be some of our (and their) greatest rights."
And the definition, courtesy of
Google and Wiki:
  
Sheeple is a term of disparagement, created by combining the words "sheep" and "people." It implies that those people it references believe whatever they are told, without processing it to be sure that it is an accurate representation of the real world around them. The term can be applied to any group, often in a political or comedic sense.



And some quotes I happened upon that I like-
 
   "Everything great and intelligent is in the minority."
-Goethe

   "What a distressing contrast between the radiant intelligence of the child and the feeble mentality of the average adult." -Freud 

   "I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect, has intended us to forgo their use..." 
-Galileo
