logophile on a roll.

My ex-exboyfriendAndrewSullivan has had a little breakdown. The weight of feeling the need to explain GOING ROUGE has driven him under the covers, really. BUT, I learned two new words from him today :

• LACUNA , just means a GAP ( could be a theme brewing here..). " Mr. Sullivan took a lacuna." or as he put it, " We apologize for the lacuna"
• HAGIOGRAPHY , the study of saints , refers literally to writings on the subject of such holy people, and specifically to the biographies of ecclesiastical and secular leaders. "In his hagiography of Palin, Matt Continetti accuses yours truly of earnestness about all this"

( the painting above is by Andrew's all the cute husband, Aaron.)
