sometimes it pops up at the strangest times.

SD and DS1 were arguing because DS1 said that SD owed him $2. SD said DS1 didn't have it in writing.

But unless they made the contract more than a year ago, the statute of frauds is not a bar to DS1 collecting. It doesn't bar all contracts. #nerdalert

For whatever reason, sua sponte desperately wants to be part of my active vocabulary. I have used it in casual conversation without realizing it. There is NO good reason for this.

I'm 99% sure I did this too, recently.

There's another word I use all the time that I just recently learned isn't a word non-lawyers are familiar with. I can't for the life of me remember it, though.
