Big Word Wednesday: Staid

This week's big word is staid. It's a word I use fairly regularly in reference to one of my managers' personality. He's a great guy, very staid and dependable. We like him.

staid: [steyd] adjective. of settled or sedate character; not flighty or capricious. fixed, settled or permanent. indicates an ingrained seriousness and propriety that shows itself in complete decorum; a colorless kind of correctness is indicated.

•  He has a very staid personality.
•  They are a staid and uninteresting family.
• Staid middle age loves the hurricane drama of opera.
