Indomitable

indomitable will(n.) euphemism: terminal illness or handicap.  ex: "We're waiting to hear from the doctor.  I sure hope Grandma doesn't have an indomitable will!"  see also: inspiring spirit.

Seriously, though, have you ever seen someone use a compliment like "indomitable will" and have it mean anything other than "man it must suck to not have working legs?"

What's new

Sleepless in the Seattle Metro Area is the official blog of Travis Spomer.  Look for high-quality Travis Spomer merchandise coming soon.

Views expressed are my own and in no way represent my employer; this is in no way a work blog.  All postings are presented "AS IS" and confer no rights.

Names are generally changed to protect the irrelevant.  Quotes may be paraphrased.  My memory isn't good enough for "details."

Comments you submit become my property.  I can remove or mangle them if I wish, though I probably won't.
