  Thanks! I think many can say that a lot of their vocabulary that they drop in conversations to impress people comes from Colin Meloy.

• ekbergmann commented on the word pallor

  Annie Clark (St. Vincent) uses pallor twice in "Jesus Saves, I Spend" from her album Marry Me.

  "While Jesus is saving, I'm spending all my days

  in the garden-grey pallor of lines across your face"

  and

  "While Jesus is saving I'm spending all my grace

  on rosy-red pallor of lights on center stage".

• ekbergmann commented on the word anachronism

  I am not so serious

  This passion is a plagiarism

  I might join your century

  But only on a rare occasion

  I was taken out

  Before the labor pains set in and now

  Behold the world's worst accident

  I am the girl anachronism

  -"Girl Anachronism", The Dresden Dolls

  From Wikipedia: The lyrics, alternately angry, apologetic, and full of complaint, deal with Amanda Palmer, the band's lead singer, as a "problem child", a trait which she blames on the fact that she was born a few days premature, by Caesarean section. As the song grows, the lyrics split into various subplots, all of which are related to feeling out of place or out of time.
