Word Meme

Beck tagged me for this word meme. I am supposed to create personal definitions for these words or what they make me think of.
Callipygian - My newest epithet for Az the Husband. I got past my wedding jitters by focusing on the pulchritude of Az the Callipygian.
Cholera - I would like to tell you that I am such an intellectual that this instantly makes me think of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, but actually it just makes me think of gruesome death and creates a little paranoia about the quality of my water.
Circumnavigate - Always makes me think of Magellan, poor doomed fella.
Calliope - This word makes me think of circus music, but, I am embarrassed to say, my first thought when I hear this word is memories of watching Days of Our Lives as a teen. I can practically hear the jangle of the loopy character Calliope’s clunky jewelry, and her voice calling, “Eug!” An unfortunate nickname if ever there was one.
Excellent! I love your answers! You know, I don’t think I’ve ever thought of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, aside from thinking “Bah, I don’t like this Cholera book.”
Thanks for playing!
Callipygian. They came up with a name to describe that, um, personal feature? Crazy!

The pie sounds wonderful.
