I was going to write all about jejune.  Someone else already has, Words for Nerds – Jejune, by Brad Shorr.  The gist of what Brad writes is,

1. “Jejune really gives you three insults for the price of one. On the next occasion you wish to brand a thing insipid, sophomoric, and prosaic, simply call it jejune and kill three birds with one stone.”
   

I find myself wanting to use words like jejune during working hours, fortunately of which I have few.  Why?  The Stepford Wives are working some fiendish plan and I find being able to rasp, in what passes for a blokey voice al la Barry White (emphasis on the white in my case) words like jejune makes me feel better.  The Stepford Wives are all veneer so my words slide off with little to no effect, but it does give me some satisfaction and an opportunity to build my vocabulary of insults.

In researching the origins of the word I had a fun side step and came across,

1. The JEJUNE Institute
   

As you read/say the words The JEJUNE Institute you should imagine either an ominous Japanese gong, or Celestial Synthesisers, or maybe both.  Funny what some people do with their days-off.

If you’re disturbed by the possibility of advancing your self into the next epoch-evolutionary-advanced-human form and general weirdness I would recommend you ought not visit The JEJUNE Institute. If you believe that The Tomorrow People are real, you probably shouldn’t go there either.
