Prolific "P" Words

Profligacy: immorality, debauchery.
"Krusty the Clown lived a life of profligacy. Thanks to his profligacy, circus profits declined by 27%. 'You profligate!' Bozo shouted. 'You're a disgrace to non-profligate clowns everywhere!'"

Punctilious: attentive to formality and etiquette, precise in behavior.
"Bobby's punctiliousness irked all the other employees. 'What a punctilious suck-up,' they thought."

Pugilist: boxer, especially a professional.
"As Mary held her fists in a pugilistic position, the others started to laugh. 'Why, you're just a girl, stupid,' laughed Ryan. 'Just you wait,' she vowed under her breath, 'Just you wait until I'm a world famous pugilist.'"

Perspicacious: having mental penetration or discernment.
"'Unfortunately, we do not have a position available at this time,' said Bobby-Rae, manager extraordinaire of the local burger joint. 'All the positions are filled by people a million times more perspicacious than you. Better luck next time.' As Kyle walked away he muttered maliciously, 'The joke's on you Bobby-Rae... The joke's on you.'"

"P" words are great. What about, "Pee."

Hey, look at me as I pee on your flowers and your car.

Or, what about "poop?"

Hey, look at me as I poop and your flowers and your car.
