This lyric from Sarah McLachlan's "Do What You Have to Do" has bugged me since i first heard it:

What ravages of spirit
conjured this temptuous rage?

[Poll #1299996]

I must note that i picked up the 'you insensitive clod' option from ewx, although it seems that senji has also used it.

My guess is somewhere between tempting and tempestuous, but that wasn't given as an option, you insensitive clod.

The word "Clod" needs to be used more in day to day life (and I applaud your use), as opposed to being kept primarily in the domain of Danish Lego ads.

The "You Insensitive Clod" thing is an old Slashdot joke.

I got the impression of tempting-tempestuous, too, but i'm not sure that that would make any sense.

"Clod" is also primo vintage MAD magazine, which is most of why I love it.
