*********************
RAPSCALLION: A rascal, scamp, or mischievous person; someone who is always messing around, not quite evil or intending harm, but still a rogue and a scoundrel.
LACONIC: Someone who can say a lot in only a few words; someone who doesn't talk a lot or gives only brief, concise responses. A person who uses the least words possible to say something. (Definitely NOT Mr. Gentile!!!)
GARRULOUS: The opposite of laconic. Someone who talks excessively, above and beyond what's needed. Someone who rambles on about everything and anything, but usually isn't saying anything deep or important, trivial talker.
SCINTILLATING: Scintillate is the verb form, which means to emit (give off) a sharp, bright, light. To sparkle, shine, gleam, glitter, or flash. "Scintillating" (n) is anything that is bright and shiny, emitting glittery light.
