ter.pi.tude / n: inherent baseness : depravity

See if you can work it into casual conversation this week.

For example:

At Struck, we like words almost as much as a great design or inter-web interface. Sometimes we even inventify new words. To help the blog-visiting community appreciate the words of the English language as much as we do, we’ll post a Word of the Week. Maybe not every week. But more than 50% of the weeks. Without further delay, enjoy this word:

globular /glob.u.lar - having the shape of a globe or globule

Forget about Big Love, Utah’s got Big Snow Love. When it comes to the holy matrimony between man and ski resort, I and most of my peeps are a bunch of polygamists. There’s plenty of Moto to spread around evenly (more or less) between the 13 Utah ski resorts this winter. When it comes to powder days, Moto can be a downright player. That’s a nine foot tall Yeti, the unofficial mascot of winter here in Utah. Yes, that’s a beer.

Thanks to Tim Roberts from Ski Utah for the photo. Thanks to the Warren Miller crew for once again putting on an amazing 2 hour long stoke-fest with amazing HD cinematography and a hard-rocking sound track. Check out a band called the Kooks. You won’t be disappointed. Thanks to various Struckers like the Habbenator for bringing the Yeti from drawing to larger than life-size proportions.

This guy named Bus played the part of a capricious and not-so-jolly Old Man Winter for a Ski Utah banner campaign that we are developing. Let’s just say we probably had more fun with this one than Bus did.
