It has been a long time since I have stumbled upon these abandoned and destitute members of the English family. Their once regal heads have been hung in shame as their meaningfulness has been replaced with working-class words. The feeling of power that once was felt by all as their sounds rolled smoothly over the tongue have been replaced with "like", "dude", and "cool". Let us return to them their dignity and allow them to again have a moment in the spotlight.
Prospicient - having foresight.
Chapfallen (or chopfallen) - dejected or dispirited.
Recusant - refusing to submit to authority; dissenting.
Insouciant - happily unconcerned; carefree; nonchalant.
Inveterate - firmly established; habitual.
If you forget them, it is not the end. Simply keep an open mind and make a comfy room for them to come and rest in for a while. They will reward you handsomely for that.
