Breaking the theme of "stuff about me" we'll go with the theme of "Words That are Bloody Hard to Spell" and crossbreed it with the theme of "So Not Me" and present the word for L:
L is for Lackadaisical
: lacking life, spirit, or zest : LANGUID
synonym see LANGUID
Zest? I've got so much zest I'm practically an ORANGE.
Yes, that was inserted JUST to make Rida groan. And I know that she did. I'm psychic. Or psycho. One of those. Possibly both.
The etymology of this word is a good one – it comes from lackaday, which is a word created from the phrase "Alack, the day" is which probably what those sissy Romantic-period poets went around saying while they lounged on pillows and lamented how hard true love really was when you were a poor foppishly-dressed poet. I bet they were seriously lacking for zest.
