Next installment in my vocabulary blogging:
It is safe to say that I am generally jocose, sometimes to a fault.
Anyway, this word also hails from The American Civil War by John Keegan. Here is the context:
The circumstances of Meade’s appointment were inappropriately jocose.
The definition is here:
–adjectivegiven to or characterized by joking; jesting; humorous; playful: a jocose and amusing manner.
