Can you ever use that in a sentence?

I know all sorts of great words, but many of them just aren't viable in normal conversation. Eloquence is awesome, but it just needs to be casually inserted here and there without making a big fuss.

"Oh, guys, my body's going into homeostasis."

Yeah, I suppose.

Kids used to make fun of me for being eloquent sad emoticon I was the Human Dictionary in 8th grade.

True story.

RETRACT YOUR PREVIOUS STATEMENT, CUR

LEST I STRIKE YOU DOWN WITH A FISTFUL OF WRATH AND RIGHTEOUS JUSTICE

DO NOT GIVE ME CAUSE TO FIND MYSELF IN ANGER WITH YOU

For I love thee like a clandestine brother, and I would treat you like nothing less without good reason to do so. I would pause for nary a moment before pelting you with rocks, before exposing your fetishes to the world at large, before consoling you without a single benign thought in my head, thinking only of the Pok�mon cards I'll get for being a good brother.

Indeed, these things I would do for you.

Norse verbose:

RIP THEIR HEADS ASUNDER AND LET THE ALL-FATHER SORT IT OUT

I would not do such a thing of my own volition, believe you me.

He's incorrigible, but we still appreciate him when he's on the right side of incorrigibility <3

Incorrigible doesn't even work like that, but that's alright silly emoticon

Don't worry, CJ!

Wikipedia said:
In philosophy, incorrigibility is a property of a philosophical proposition, which implies that it is necessarily true simply by virtue of being believed. A common example of such a proposition is Ren� Descartes' "cogito ergo sum" (I think, therefore I am).

Ren� Descartes walks into a bar.

"The usual, Ren�?" the bartender asks.

"I think not." he replied, and promptly disappeared.

That being said, I always think of incorrigible as the Gauls in Asterix & Obelix. Or whatever their english names are, because I always read them in french.

Incorrigible being someone who is very firm in their ideals, can't be changed?

I wasn't sure what direction widdershins was, exactly, but I knew it was a form of movement.

Also, Maleficent has always been my Disney character of choice.
