Inertia

Inertia is a really irritating word to me. It sounds like it's full of motion, forward motion that has a lot of momentum behind it, but it really means inactivity, or if you're into physics, keeping the same speed and direction unless something fucks with it. And I guess my wrong definition is sort of like the physics definition, but I just think the way inertia feels is so different than just saying "oh, well, it's just going along steadily," that sounds so boring and wrong. The sound inertia makes is like rushing water and a powerful punch, it can almost sound like a four letter word. It's like an insult. You're so inert. You're lazy. You keep going forward, but nothing affects you. Boring. Predictable. Blaaaah!
