The Delight of Finding the Perfect Word For Something

 As an atheist it can be difficult to express intense emotion. Oh my god doesn't work. Oh my gourd does, though. 

And, oh my gourd - I love this word: Solivagant. It means solitary wanderer. It's origins are the Latin words solus meaning alone and vagans meaning wander.

I am definitely happy as a solivagant.
