"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

What about “gibbet,” Father? This was another one of those words that was just “toooooo haaaard” for the average Catholic to understand and got the axe from the bishops. Perhaps people were getting it mixed up with the word “giblet” as in “giblet gravy,” a popular Thanksgiving garnish, the taste of which, when put on turkey and dressing, is ineffable!
I actually just checked my mail before I came here this morning, and thought you would find it interesting. Glad I’m not the only one who thinks word of the day e-mails are kinda cool.
I was also going to suggest “gibbet” as your next choice for the word of the day, but we must remember that this was discarded by the USCCB at last month’s meeting! I forget which word was chosen in its place, but we can be sure that they had Joe and Mary Catholic and the rest of us merry people in the pews in mind, cuz we all be so thick n’ slow!
“Ineffable” was also used in the Office of Readings today in the second reading for St. John Damascene. How did that slip in there?
And a similar, related, word is …
infant
– from Latin “in-fans” or “not (yet) speaking”.
I wich you consrvitivs wuld stop showin of with yur big shot words frum the oldn days.
Wake up fokes! Its the twuntyith centry!
Blow up sum balunes, eat sum bred liek the aposels did, crank up the toons, pat sum bacs, and prase the peapul uf the lord.
It just struck me: for His Excellency Bishop Trautman, the second definition is quite apropos: “not to be uttered : taboo”
Today, NPR was discussing the vampire legend and the reporter mentioned the “ineffable mystery” of Dracula
