You will kindly ignore the fact that I, uh, missed yesterday. What the heck was I thinking?<\/p>\n
The problem with most u-words in my vocabulary is that they are prefixed. Unleaded. Untie. Unnecessary. These are cheap words – basically masquerades, because they are just the inverse of the main word. <\/p>\n
So I had to dig up a good u-word that was unique.<\/p>\n
Hey! That's it!<\/p>\n
U for Unique.<\/p>\n
1 : being the only one : SOLE <his unique concern was his own comfort> <I can't walk away with a unique copy. Suppose I lost it? — Kingsley Amis> <the unique factorization of a number into prime factors>
2 a : being without a like or equal : UNEQUALED <could stare at the flames, each one new, violent, unique — Robert Coover> b : distinctively characteristic : PECULIAR 1 <this is not a condition unique to California — Ronald Reagan>
3 : UNUSUAL <a very unique ball-point pen> <we were fairly unique, the sixty of us, in that there wasn't one good mixer in the bunch — J. D. Salinger><\/p>\n
Any definition that references J.D. Salinger is the definition for me. I am a unique and beautiful snowflake. Fight Club told me so. (Wait, what do you mean I missed the point of that movie? This is a joke, right?)<\/i><\/p>\n
Ahem.<\/p>\n
You are unique. Just like me.<\/p>\n
Wait, that's not it at all…<\/p>\n
