Excellence

A perfect example of newspeak, commonly found in the US federal government and frequently found in the same sentence as 'diversity'. Excellence is an intangible noun derived in recent decades from an adjective meaning anything that is not directly in opposition to a mission statement. Basically it is supposed to mean 'good-ness', but better than good, really good. But without any increase in quality of work to back it up. So it can be anything from poor to mediocre to decent to great to outstanding.

In all concrete reality, excellence means nothing, but you'll see it everywhere to describe everything.

Excellence

Excellence is a name given to an amazing, smart guy that appears to be quiet at first till you become closer and have deeper conversations. His childish sense of humor makes him stand out amongst others. He may appear all innocent but he's definitely not, the beast is just hidden inside waiting for the right time to come out. The ability of excellence to stick to what he believes in is so sexy that having long conversations with him might lead to unexpected hot make out sessions. He is an amazing lover, loyal to the end, once his mind is set on something or someone, no one can change it.

Girl: I wish I had a partner I can trust with my life
