The freaks come out at night, but the real weirdos are crepuscular.

I was anti-crepuscular before it was hip

Had to look that up. I remember "Les Disques du Crépuscule" from way back when. Makes sense.
#EngelskeGloser EN crepuscular - = NO skumrings-

@the_etrain

This is only the second time in my life I have seen the word crepuscular. The first being when I found it to rhyme in a spider-man style serenade...

It's a great word.

@the_etrain @TheBreadmonkey

Anne McCaffrey uses it several times in her Pern books. I love it as a word because it kinda sounds like something dirty, but it isn't.

I forgot about this word, but I vaguely recall that a long time ago I was going to have a character named Crepuscula in a story that I never wrote.

@the_etrain Boosting for the use of crepuscular in the wild.
@the_etrain That's something you learn when you have house-rabbits.
