Definitions by tradesman

extreme 

1) Outermost or farthest. The greatest or highest; most. Far beyond what is considered normal. Drastic.

2)One of most overused words in the current english language.

The first definition is self-explanatory. But, I like to have fun with the second one. How about AN EXTREME NAP? Maybe EXTREME DEODERANT? Maybe EXTREME BAGELS at Brueger's. You get the idea. The word is EXTREMELY overused.

clintonesque

Having Clinton-like qualities. In matters of speech, to parse the English language so painfully at a direct question as to avoid responsibility for your own actions. In matters of conduct, to be more interested in #1, instead of the greater good.

His actions as well as speech are rather clintonesque.
