    Inebriating was the wrong word to take a guess on.

    How does one evade inebriating the exuberance of one's own verbosity?

    Since exuberance is, qua itself as metaphor, a form of intoxication, your formulation is tautologous, indeed redundant. However, to examine your query on the level of statement as opposed to metaphor, it is of course impossible to render an abstraction such as exuberance inebriated, since the verb requires the process of physical intoxication via the means of alcohol, a process impossible for a non-corporeal abstraction.
    Your query is without comprehensible semantic meaning on at least two levels, which leads me to the conclusion that your alleged verbosity is in fact merely a facade for either a talent for surrealism or simpleminded idiocy.
    Thanks for asking.

    Do you mean how to avoid the ould isolative ego consuming you?

    In my experience, impossible

    Incredibly off topic. (not that there seems to be one!)

    Oh the irony, the OP wasn't verbose at all


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,721 ✭✭✭Balmed Out


    You're intoxicated on the exuberence of your own verbosity or something like it is a quote from westminster by Benjamin Disraeli.

    I used it often thinking myself clever when I was 13 or so.

    Try again OP. You used the quote incorrectly.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,536 ✭✭✭AngryBollix


    Thread title sounds like the author was inebriated on something other than their own wordiness.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,598 ✭✭✭✭prinz


    Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V prinz. 'Nuff said.

    This thread reminds me of the user Contemplating Aristotle who was on here last year.

    Proper stoner threads.
