| more about DoctorDubious: | I get to call myself Doctor,
.... cause I wasted many years in universities.
I choose to call myself Dubious
....because I like the word, it amuses me.
Alliteration, ambiguity, playfulness, humor, teasing,
word-play, thinking, writing, and talking all entertain me.
Teasing gives me small pleaures.
Teasing of a more physical nature gives me greater pleasures

PS, if you are philosophically inclined ...
(poor dear, you really should have that condition treated)
you might notice the self-reflexive nature of dubious.
The word dubious is... in and of itself... a dubious word.
PPSS, here's a list of related words from a thesaurus.
ambiguous, debatable, disinclined, doubtful, equivocal, indefinite, indeterminate, mistrustful, obscure, open, problematic, problematical, skeptical, unclear, undecided, unsettled
cryptic, enigmatic, puzzling, questionable, tenebrous,
arguable, chancy, debatable, diffident, disputable, dubitable, equivocal, farfetched, fishy*, fly-by-night*, hesitant, iffy*, improbable, moot, mootable, open, perplexed, problematic, questionable, reluctant, skeptical, suspect, suspicious, , unclear, unconvinced, undecided, unlikely,
fly-by-night*, ..... I used to think I could do some good in the world for women in the weight loss business. Turns out that it's closer to ludicrous than dubious. We had 3 centers in 3 big cities, and tens of thousands of clients before I figured out that losing weight, which they mostly did... was totally beside the point for most women. Slow learner ain't associated with dubious in this thesaurus, but it should be.
fly-by-night*, ......... now I'm in Los Angeles quixotically trying to make this fucked up health insurance system work better for both employers and employees. If that isn't a dubious enterprise, I don't know what is. Sounds altruistic, doesn't it? Altruistic isn't cited as close to dubious either, but it should be, eh?
Also, I want to make a shit-load of money. But that ain't dubious at all.
