Tsuwm's worthless word of the day yesterday was "cunctipotent", meaning "all powerful". How is that different (or is it?) from omnipotent? I just don't see a difference in the words.

I can't see any difference either, except that cunctipotent is likely to guarantee more than a few double-takes!

There's probably some subtle difference in the Latin (?) roots, but I don't know Latin, alas...

We did mention this word in an earlier thread.

Well, knock me over with a feather! Sorry! Guess I have been out to lunch a bit lately. The worst of it is, this is the second time I have done that to poor Asa. He's going to get a complex! Roll Eyes
