Oh shit I wish I'd known before now, Oh shit that you were such a cow

Today's word from The Calendar:

vitulation

Which means:

"a rejoicing like a calf"

(from Henry Cockeram's Interpreter of Hard English Words, 1623. It's apparently derived from the Latin, vitulinus, meaning of or belonging to a calf.)

So there you go. Vitulation. Use it three times in conversation today, and once in your LJ.

I'm impressed. As a word, it's so unlikely that even I'm not sure I can think of a conceivable use for it.

That virgulate virgins violently vitiate the vibe with their virile vitulation; aka "locker room banter".
