Like Robert Downey Jr, but Less Gritty

Today's word of the day warrants a brief write-up, mostly because it makes the speaker sounds appalled and a bit scandalized, especially when spken with vehemence. It makes me feel a lot like Sherlock Holmes (albeit a much more effeminate, British version of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's character).

So without further ado, I present:

deucedly \DOO-sid-lee\ , adverb: Devilishly; damnably.

Learn it, live it, love it. Try throwing it into everyday conversation. Here, like this:

"Well good evening, madame, and how was the show?"
"Deucedly clever, my good man! Quite the caper!"
"Deucedly, you say?"
"Deucedly!"
"Well I say!"
"Mm, yes, I say!"
