"Verbose"

I have the feeling only Karen, Nancy or Supraja will appreciate this.

As I was sitting on the metro going through the GRE vocab flashcards on my way home, I came across the word "verbose." Finally, I thought, one that I know. The definition that immediately ran through my head was, "Using too many words."

I turn it over and see one word on the definition line: "wordy."

The irony left me smiling until we pulled up to the next station.
