    Thank you for digging yourself out of the mountain of genitals that have been flung at you due to your vocabulary to participate in this AMA.

    I do not mean to floccinaucinihipilificate your accomplishments, but can you tell us what led to this moment this event for you?

    I got to use the word recently in a costume context. The other costumer was burning the ends of the cord we used for corsets, so I asked if aglets wouldn’t be safer and nicer. I was promptly told we did not have the budget for aglets xD

      I was getting in an MRI machine and had a sudden panic that the aglets on my shoes were metal. I garbled out my concern quickly to the nurse and was surprised to hear myself say “aglet” in a sophisticated manner rather than “the little end things on my laces” like a pleb. Of course, she didn’t actually know what I meant and we all died. Joking. Some people died. This story is half true.
