machiavelli commented on the list machiavellis-list
abulia (n) the inability to make decisions. Actually a mental illness but useful to describe colleagues of a vacillating nature.

rastaquouere (adj) means someone of dubious or fake nobility. It is of French origin (as are many of those with dubious or fake titles).

If you don't know what omniscient means, it means you're not.

Machiavelli: You may find it more useful to add comments pertaining to a specific word to the comment thread for that word, rather than to the list on which the word appears. It has the advantage of making the comment accessible to anyone who calls up the page for the word, regardless how they arrived there.
