Germane

You never hear the word "germane" used anymore.

I've been to lots of parties over the years, mostly due to my famous blog, and not once has anyone used that word. I shouted it out at a party once and was immediately kicked out. Even a woman named Germaine didn't like it.

That's too bad.

It means "relevant to the issue". It's weird that a word meaning relevant isn't relevant anymore.

Words are like muscles. Stop using them and they atrophize - is that a word?

Let's start flexing "germane" again.
