She has reined there for years, however, she has certainly strengthened her hold on the crown. :evil:

rediculous adj.
Something worse than ridiculous, even worse than dumb ass.

I honestly thought that "rediculous" was a misspelling of the word "ridiculous" but I have realized that it is the correct spelling of "acting like a :utard: " in the Adamic language.

Usage:
The way the Cougs opened up a can of whoop-ass on the :utard: was ridiculous, but the way Henderson behave at the end of the game was redicuolous.

Oh thank heaven. I was beginning to go into shaking spasms and severe headaches from withdrawal from my word of the day fix. Thanks urroner. BTW today's word was one of the most sensible yet.
