Elizabeth Bennet: "No... No, I prefer to be unsociable and taciturn... Makes it all so much more enjoyable, don't you think?"

John, I actually learned the word from watching Angel. Who says TV isn't educational? :)

The word itself comes from latin..."Tacite" if I am remembering correctly. It means "silent" in that form. (Just so ya know.)

I always thought both words have a negative and positive connotation, depending on how you use them. :-)

Really? I always thought taciturn was a noble trait and reticent was refusing to reveal import information.

Like reticent, but in a bad way. :-P
