I love it! I actually already knew what jentacular meant I think you would like the book I found it in, called “The Word Lover’s Dictionary” Unfortunately, I can’t tell you much more about it, other than the title because I’m moving in a week and it’s already packed up.

I thought the statue beautiful, but I attach no significance to it. I am no Mormon. If anything I’m Orthodox Christian.
