    plebeian (pli-ˈbē-ən) noun, a member of the Roman plebs, one of the common people; adjective, crude or coarse in manner or style.

    Boring. Check out yourdarksecret.com. "I messed around with my sister." "I love Bobby and he'll never know." I pissed in the elevator." The word plebeian is the only adequate description.

    calvous \KAL-vuhs\, adjective:

    Lacking all or most of the hair on the head; bald.

    The wit's voluminous neckerchief unraveled and slipped to the mold, and the spangled silver wig fell from the telltale calvous head.
    -- D. M. Cornish, Lamplighter

    Admittedly most old, bloated, calvous Germans could double for me, and even if he hadn't been doppelganger material, with the beard I had started growing and the two black eyes, you'd need x-rays to spot the difference.
    -- Tibor Fischer, The Thought Gang

    Calvous is derived from the Latin word calvus which meant simply “bald.”

    A word lately I've learned as of late is 'bazinga.' Anyone familiar with it? And no fair Googling it.

    And if memory serves correctly, Peggy Bundy (from Married with Children) was from Wanker County.

    Bazinga is what Sheldon says on The Big Bang Theory when he thinks he's gotten off a good one!

    Sounds about right.

    ethos (ˈē-ˌthäs) noun, the distinguishing character, sentiment, moral nature, or guiding beliefs of a person, group, or institution; ethic.

    Ethos of the DSC [Dirty Secrets Club]. Secrets are valuable. Don't waste them.
