Some lighthearted irony to break things up

So last night my mom was trying to look up words that did not describe the hero in her latest romance reading material and I was surprised to discover that she did not already know what the word 'sonorous' meant. However, I was still more surprised to learn that I didn't either. Here it is, from the Gage (2000) Canadian Dictionary: 'Phonetics. having a certain degree of resonance or vocalic quality. Vowels are more sonorous than sonorants; sonorants are more sonorous than obstruants.' Thanks, I'll keep that in mind in case I ever become a contestant on some Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? knockoff. The best part, though, was when I was relating this same story to Amy this morning and we decided to look up other related and equally ridiculous words such as soniferous. Amy gleefully danced around the living room singing, "I'm soniferous, I'm soniferous!" and to my delight, she really was.
