. . .here are my thoughts.

What word do you use most often to make yourself appear more intelligent?

I got my 2nd Moderna COVID vaccine on 03/17/2021, meaning I’m now fully immunized against COVID-19! When I give people their Moderna vaccines, I inform them of side effects they may experience after either the first or second dose. I use information the manufacture supplied, and first-hand accounts other patients have informed me of. And, of course, I share my own experience to give that extra bit of personalization to my counseling. My first dose was fine, but after the second, I had 22 hours of minor flu like symptoms. I “slept” 14 of those hours. I use the quotation marks because I spent probably half of those hours awake, repeatedly doing something I had no word for—that full body stretch you do each morning before actually putting feet to floor. I tried to explain that action to people, but lacked good terminology to explain it. Lucky for me, the Dictionary.com Word of the Day for April 16, 2021 was “pandiculation.”

pandiculation
[noun] the act of stretching oneself, especially on waking

Guess who’s gonna sound pretentious—verging on supercilious—prior to administering way too many vaccinations.
