persiflage

Indeed, and for my sins I studied 18th century French literature (Racine, Moliere anyone?)!But who the heck uses an 18th century French word in the middle of a tech post on an (English) Qt forum? ;-)

@jonb heh...well, I may not be much of a programmer, but I do know a lot of words, and I enjoy using them.
A couple of weeks ago, I was playing a round of golf. I went out as a single, so I didn't know the people I was playing with. After leaving a putt well short, I said, "well that was rather pusillanimous of me." Getting a blank look from my co-players, I explained "it's the opposite of insouciant."That didn't seem to help much.

pusillanimous ... insouciant
in contrast to persiflage, I actually had to look those to two up!
