    Indubitably, Rongar will make us all laugh. It is indubitable.

    If the monocle pops off of the person's face when they are surprised, it will indubitably be the most civilized argument in history.

    Its indubitability is doubtless, undeniable, and undebatable. (Definitely.)

    As an Aphrodisiac

    Yes, it is indeed quite true that there is something mysteriously sexy about the monocle. You've seen the many pictures on this page and probably questioned your own sexuality. It is in fact scientifically proven that sight of a monocle causes one's brain to release hormones which then stimulate the genitalia. These stimuli function to increase sexual drive. The study was done by members of the University of Oxford, who tested the theory of monocles as an aphrodisiac by subjecting both men and women to pictures of both de and be monocled men and women and monitoring their brain patterns. Overwhelming evidence proved that monocles could cause significant sexual arousal in both sexes, but especially women. These and other findings have prompted the federal government and various educational facilities to look into monocle bans, but due to their popularity among teenagers, it is unlikely that monocles will be banned anytime soon.

    Yeah. I know.

    Undeniably, Rongar will make us all laugh. It is undeniable.

    Makes sense.

    How do you do something dubitably? I want to know so I don't say something that can be dubited.

    Re: The Most Civilized Debate

    I must say kind sir, that the word "indubitably" has come quite in handy when writing my personal statements.

    Just wanted you gracious folks to know. Cheerios, old sports, and may a wonderful day be bestowed on your heavenly soul.

    My application was read by a Harvard graduate for checking, and she didn't know what indubitably meant.

    Congrats everyone, you just learned a word a Harvard student does not know.
