Uxorious

So brother Jay sent me this Word o’ the Day today. I am at a loss as to why:

uxorious \uk-SOR-ee-us; ug-ZOR-\, adjective:
Excessively fond of or submissive to a wife.

This word could not possibly apply less to me. Because while, yes, it’s true, I am indeed extraordinarily fond of and submissive to my wife, I am by no means excessively so.

It’s simply not possible to be excessively fond of Top Management.

Who wouldn’t be insanely fond of human perfection in one adorable, brilliant, currently-somewhat-round due to her unusually-fertile nature? I’d have to be insane to not be. And while, yes, I may indeed be somewhat whacked, even I’m not that crazy.

Except about her. Of that I am more than happy to plead guilty on all counts.
