Pace

Pace

Wow. I like to use usual words I learn once in a while, but I think if I were having a discussion with someone and started a sentence with 'pace' it would be over. I'm not sure I could even respect myself after that. If I were to use it, I feel I should clear my throat loudly, say 'pip pip, tut tut and that rot" before actually diving into the sentence.

What I found really interesting is that the example sentences didn’t use a comma turning it into an interjection. I’m gonna change that. I declare as of this moment, that ‘pace” will have a comma after it and thus be an interjection. Why would I want to do this? Because it would be fun? Because it would be "different"? Naw. The interjection was my favorite Schoolhouse Rock segment, that’s all. Seriously, once you watch that, the song will be with you for HOURS.

Thus we have…

"Pace, Michele Bachmann is a much bigger screwball than Rick Santorum!"

"Pace! Rick Santorum is a much bigger screwball than Michele Bachmann!"

"Pace! Michele Bachmann is a much bigger screwball than Rick Santorum!"

"PACE! Rick Santorum is a much bigger screwball than Michele Bachmann!"

And the argument would go on ad infinitum with the interjection getting more adamant, determined, firm, fixed, hard-nosed, immovable, inexorable, inflexible, insistent, intransigent, obdurate, pat, relentless, resolute, rigid, set, set in stone, standing pat, stiff, stubborn, unbendable, unbending, uncompromising, unrelenting, unshakable, unswayable, bound, bound and determined, dead set on, dogged, ferocious, fierce, go for broke, grim, hang-tough, hard, harsh, implacable, inhuman, mortal, pitiless, remorseless, rigid, rigorous, ruthless, single-minded, stiff, stop at nothing, strict, stringent, unappeasable, undeviating, unflinching, unforgiving, unstoppable, unyielding, and vindictive* as it went.
