Oh, with a title like that on a day like today, I bet you thought I was gonna say something really sentimental and saccharine like, "I Love You," or, "Merry Christmas, Asswipe!" But that just ain't my style, man (despite the fact that I do love you and that 'asswipe' is probably, actually two words, as in, "I love you, ass wipe.").
adjective
• lacking physical sensation : a patient who was permanently unconscious and insensate.
• lacking sympathy or compassion; unfeeling : a positively insensate hatred.
• completely lacking sense or reason : insensate jabbering.
-------------------------------------------------
inchoate
adjective
just begun and so not fully formed or developed; rudimentary : a still inchoate democracy.
USAGE - Because inchoate means 'just begun and so not fully formed or developed,' a sense of 'disorder' may be implied. But to extend the usage of inchoate to mean 'chaotic, confused, incoherent' (: he speaks in an inchoate manner) is incorrect, although not uncommon. Perhaps even more common are incorrect pronunciations of inchoate, such as inˈ ch ōt, which assumes two syllables (rather than three) and a ch sound like that of chair or chosen (rather than a k sound like that of charisma or chorus).
rudimentary, undeveloped, unformed, immature, incipient, embryonic; beginning, fledgling, developing.
-------------------------------------------------
inculcate
verb [ trans. ]
instill (an attitude, idea, or habit) by persistent instruction : the failures of the churches to inculcate a sense of moral responsibility.
• teach (someone) an attitude, idea, or habit by such instruction : they will try to inculcate you with a respect for culture.
instill in, implant in, fix in, impress in, imprint in; hammer into, drum into, drive into, drill into.
