things i should not be doing
There are many things in life that, at this advanced stage in our civilisation, we should not be doing.

Fun Friday: Great lost words
flibbertigibbet \FLIB-ur-tee-jib-it\, noun:
A silly, flighty, or scatterbrained person, especially a pert young woman with such qualities.
We discover here not the flibbertigibbet Connolly describes but a serious reader (Goethe, Tolstoy, Proust) who found her cultural ideal in 18th-century France.
~ Martin Stannard, “Enter Shrieking”, New York Times, November 28, 1993
