Superior Person's Tuesday

Paracme n. The stage after one’s peak, when decline and senescence set it. “What an idea, Professor! You are indeed at the paracme of your powers!”

“How can I incorporate more killer trees?”

Each Tuesday, we’ll offer up a Superior Word for the edification of our Superior Readers, via the volumes of the inimitable Peter Bowler. You can purchase all or any of the four Superior Person’s Books of Words from the Godine website. Paracme appears in the second.
