hey, you with the ursine languor

i admit, sheepishly, i've been looking up all my vocabulary for this blog on the internet. so (kindly see last post) until i get a dictionary, i'll need your help in fasting this aspect of technology so i don't end up as a clerk in some office supply-like store (again, please refer to the last entry). however, there were several unique words in my weekly reading. *"ursine" being one of them. which, my alert reading friend noted, is "of or having to do with bears". she is one smart gal. together we found "sagacious" in c.s. lewis. here are just a few more if you have, ahem, a dictionary handy and want to achieve blog-commenting fame: coaming, transom, halyard, ignominiously, and desultory. plus just some clever phraseology: "omnipotent as Excalibur", "Quixote-like", "the hapless skipper's tale of ineptitude", "a matched pair in unacknowledged communion", "with less alliteration but more dignity", and "metronomic thwacks", (see also george howe colt's novel the big house: a century in the life of an american summer home, chapters 12 and 13 on sailing and tennis, respectively)*sample sentence, "my uncle was also tall, but his muscular build and slight slouch gave him an ursine languor on the court that reminded me of the heavyweight boxing champion of the time, Sonny Liston" (p. 163). extra points if you can use them in sentences.
