Profundity

Posted by RamblinDad on June 22, 2006

Sitting here at work during my lunch break I felt this overwhelming desire to write something profound (the bull shit bug bit me). So what profundity do I have to share with any and all? PROFUNDITY.

I pulled the word profundity from the nether regions of my brain. Yes I know I need to clean back there more often. I was pretty sure of the definition, but decided to look it up anyway.

profundity

NOUN:
pl. profundities

  • Great depth.
  • Depth of intellect, feeling, or meaning.
  • Something profound or abstruse.
  • It’s not used too often, at least not in my circles. Of course in my circles great depth is considered a place to fish; Intellect is one of them computer companies; feeling is what you do in the dark to find your beer; and abstruse is one of them exercise machines used to tighten the belly.

    I am now done waisting your time with useless drivel. This has been more of an anti-profundity for three reasons.

  • It was pretty shallow.
  • Intellect was lost, feeling was numb, and meaning was absent.
  • It was something superficial or exoteric.
  • Or has it really been a profundity? I guess it depends on if you can belch your ABC’s.
