Word of the Day with Ryan Kailbourne
Here to help us expand our vocabulary is comedian Ryan Kailbourne. Ryan is a friend who I met through Clubhouse. After hearing his impressions of Nick Offerman, Mitch Hedberg, Jim Gaffigan, & Bill Burr in different improv and impression rooms, I knew I had to get him on Word of the Day with Comedians. In addition to comedy, Ryan performed in bands, on stage with theatres and Renaissance Faires, and voiceover for commercials such as Under Armor, IBM, and Footlocker& more.

Today’s word of the day is “fastidious“, which means showing or demanding excessive delicacy or care. It also can mean having high and often capricious standards: difficult to please.
Did you know: Fastidious comes from Latin fastidium, meaning "aversion" or "disgust." Fastidium is believed to be a combination of fastus, meaning "arrogance," and taedium, "irksomeness" or "disgust." (Taedium is also the source of tedium and tedious.) In keeping with its Latin roots, fastidious once meant "haughty," "disgusting," and "disagreeable," but the word is now most often applied to people who are very meticulous or overly difficult to please, or to work which reflects a demanding or precise attitude.
