fervourous

News flash.

'Fervourous' is not a word. Nor is 'fervorous'.

So if you have used it lately, it shows that you are a creative genius, or you are as dumb as a plank. Maybe you are both.

Maybe it's a type of dinosaur?

I was thinking that perhaps fervent was the word you were grasping for...

Campbell, animals would be smart enough not to use such language.

maybe its like missional...

Gordon Cheng said...

You may say that Mike. I couldn't possibly comment.

The Pook said...

No that would be more like missionous or missioniferous wouldn't it?

Dictionary.com does allow for "ferverous"

Mikey, I tried that link and it doesn't work.

That said, I think the word you were trying to link to is 'feverous', which is indeed a word, but it is not the same as 'ferverous' and has, in some cases at least, a slightly pejorative meaning.

But mate, given the choices that I offered in the original blog post, I am going to put you down as a 'creative genius'.

;-)
