WORD OF THE DAY...

I stumbled across this one as a 'comment' on a white paper in a university library archive. I was researching some historical provenance on the Constitution and ran into several documents by a PHD candidate. Apparently his advisor wasn't too impressed. I have to admit, I wasn't terribly impressed either. Reminded me of undergrad work. Post-graduate study should be (mostly) beyond reproach. -- IMHO

I know this word but couldn't put a good definition down on paper, so I included it here.....

vacuous = adjective: empty minded; stupid.  adjective: empty; unfilled, void; vacant.   adjective: lacking intelligence or intelligent expression; unexpressive; as in a vacuous look. 

The etymology is easy.  It's a derivative from Latin.  From the Latin vacuus; meaning empty or vacant.
