Amuck

Filed Under A 

Although my favorite word often changes with my mood and the day of the week, I would have to say that my all time favorite is amuck. I love to say, “Uh oh, He’s run amuck.” As a probation/parole officer I use it a lot! It is such an all purpose word: “The world is all amuck,” “Wow, She certainly is running amuck.” I guess it’s usually used with “run” and probably not with proper English, but it’s much more fun to say than, “He’s in trouble.” It just makes me smile to say it and it usually makes others smile too.
