She certainly is yare

Try as I might to find the perfect video for today's Word of the Day, I was unsuccessful.  Luckily though, I remember the scene word for word.

yare

\ yair \  , adjective;

1. quick; agile; lively.

2. (of a ship) quick to the helm; easily handled or maneuvered.

3. Archaic.  a. ready; prepared. b. nimble; quick.

 

In the movie Failure to Launch, there is a scene where the gorgeous Matthew Mcconaughey takes his lovely date (Sarah Jessica Parker) out on a sailboat for some lunch.  The plot twist?  It's not his boat.  When the owner of said sailboat unexpectedly drops by and reprimands Matthew for eating on his boat, SJP is quick to retaliate with a conversation about his boat. 

 

Spoiler alert: they get off scott free and end up happily ever after.  But not before SJP says, "Well she certainly is yare," to the owner, thus proving her water smarts and the art of getting by in trying situations.

 

To be honest, I'm not really sure what the best way is to use this word in a sentence, but if you want a good definition, go watch the movie, I highly recommend it.  It certainly is yare.  Or good.  Or romantic.  Or whatever.
