Did you know that the adjectival form of writer George Bernard Shaw is Shavian (SHAY-vee-un)? Fascinating. I wish I’d known this earlier, as it would have come in handy in several instances.

Example #1: “When Russell P. Saxton entered the room, the word that leapt to mind was Shavian. After all, he’d arrived at the Halloween costume party dressed as George Bernard Shaw.”

Example #2: “The copy of ‘Pygmalion’ under his arm did nothing for Russell’s George Bernard Shaw costume. In fact, I doubt very highly that the real Shaw would have been caught dead toting around his own play. Very un-Shavian if you ask me.”

Example #3: “After Xavier casually dropped the word ‘Shavian’ into our conversation, I had no choice but to take him out back and beat him.”
