Plenipotentiary of Fun

Today (well, probably two days ago) I learned a new and very useful word, thanks to the sister. I think that I should use it as my own title because I'm pretty sure that I'm all powerful. Vocabulary is magic.

plenipotentiary

\plen-uh-puh-TEN-shee-air-ee; -shuh-ree\ , adjective;

1.

Containing or conferring full power; invested with full power; as, "plenipotentiary license; plenipotentiary ministers."

noun:

1.

A person invested with full power to transact any business; especially, an ambassador or diplomatic agent with full power to negotiate a treaty or to transact other business.

Origin:

Plenipotentiary derives from Latin plenus, "full" + potens, "powerful."
