Jefe: I have put many beautiful pinatas in the storeroom, each of them filled with little surprises.
El Guapo: Many pinatas?
Jefe: Oh yes, many!
El Guapo: Would you say I have a plethora of pinatas?
Jefe: A what?
El Guapo: A *plethora*.
Jefe: Oh yes, you have a plethora.
El Guapo: Jefe, what is a plethora?
Jefe: Why, El Guapo?
El Guapo: Well, you told me I have a plethora. And I just would like to know if you know what a plethora is. I would not like to think that a person would tell someone he has a plethora, and then find out that that person has *no idea* what it means to have a plethora.
Jefe: Forgive me, El Guapo. I know that I, Jefe, do not have your superior intellect and education. But could it be that once again, you are angry at something else and are looking to take it out on me?
I also misused it for a long time. I remember watching "Ren and Stimpy" and hearing plethora used to describe a large amount and wide variety of something, and I latched onto that "variety" aspect. It's not about that at all, though!
Next you'll tell me that GI Joe wasn't the best way to learn military theory.
Whew! I was worried I might have to revisit my youth so that I can reconsider how I viewed the world. Then, I'd have to start a Substack where I write and publish every day, because who the hell wants to come here and talk about my past with me in the comments section? I'd have to do like one personal/nostalgia post per week, max.
Thank God we've come a ways from that.
Let's get back to the good old days of cutting ourselves to fix the sniffles.
...wait for it...

The 80s will always live rent-free in my mind.
Thanks for the history lesson, Andrew! It’s given me a plethora of ideas.
"...there was too much of a fluid inside of you causing whatever was wrong."
Ugh, you sound exactly like my friends and family at my intervention. Okay, I GET IT!
But I wasn't aware of this outdated meaning of the word. I always treated it as something pretentious people used to say "a bunch of."

No, GI Joe is legit documentary.

Ha, writing every single day on Substack?! Can you imagine!
Speaking of which, do you miss the "every day" aspect from AI jest?
Partly, but mostly I'm happy for the extra time again. Maybe when new image models and LLMs come out, I'll be tempted to try again.
I suppose I shouldn't mention the plethora of political leeches sucking the vital fluids out of civilization...
Here he goes with the Pizza Hut references again…. 🤣
If the triangular wedge of grease and carbs fits...
