Congratulations! You have achieved semantic saturation. Now you must move on to the next word: Stipple.

First moisten the beard with warm water.
Then lightly stipple the shaving cream on with the brush.
Draw the blade slowly, yet firmly across the beard.
Remember to go with the grain, not against.
If the blade pulls or does not cut, rinse and dry the blade.
Run the blade up and down a good strop until it is rehoned.

No, no, no–defenestrate. I love the word defenestrate. Can someone use all the words of choice here in a sentence?

Maybe? I’ll get them started: The nun wore her hair a snood, and unfortunately she also had an unfortunate mucus problem that left her with moist panties and slacks, but once she was defenstrated…
Moist is okay. I think of cake, brownies and the band. But I don’t like the word bucolic. I know what it means, but it shouldn’t - it ought to mean something damp, dripping and filled with pestilence. Like an unmaintained subway tunnel. And it makes my stomach kind of hurt thinking about it. Bucolic. Doesn’t it sound like you’re about to vomit?

With my upcoming nuptials, I’ve recently noticed the oddness of the word “nuptials”.
It’s really hard to say and sounds vaguely dirty.

Sometimes, when it’s cold and the dry cleaners has used too much starch, it make my nuptials hurt.
