What a fantastic way to say wise! It flows right off the tongue and sounds like such a smart word.

Defined strictly it simply means “to hit in the head” however it is more commonly used in a more absurd sense. That being “to hit with a fish,” it is hilariously useless and silly but can be used, with a little planning, quite effectively.

Perpendicular

As a geometry teacher, I often find myself saying this word over and over in short period of time. Try it - it just sounds really interesting and cool in a peculiar kind of way. Better yet, get yourself a classroom full of 10th graders and have them all say it with you while forming right angles with their arms.

Medical: an abnormal inability to focus one’s attention.
I just like the look on a persons face when I tell them I’m having an attack of aprosexia.

Perhaps
Filed Under P | Leave a Comment
Life is much more fun when the possibilities are open. No matter what country i am in, i try to learn the word or phrase for perhaps in order to be globally non-committal. Is this really my favorite word? Perhaps, quizas, etc.

Assuage
Filed Under A | Leave a Comment
In 9th grade we had a teacher that, as a part of a vocab assignment, had us go around the room and read a sentence we created using one of the week’s words. My word, one week, was assuage. I looked down at my paper and began to read my sentence, not thinking too much about it. My sentence was right out of a checkout-line romance: “In her primal heat she sought him out with tremulous fingers, thinking only of assuaging the heat burning inside her.” The class was dead silent, and so was the teacher. There were some embarrassed laughs and red ears — I felt pretty good about that if a little embarrassed (from the guys: what the hell was that?). From then on, assuage has been hopelessly hooked up to trashy romance and early high school for me.

A Slavic kingdom lost to time; an opera by Puccini; philosophers, musicians, artists, and writers alike. The connotations alone are wonderful. And phonetically, this is one of those few English words that has H pronounced right in the middle.

Grass

Every time i wanna be alone to think, I imagine the perfect green of the grass in spring. So “grass” is a perfect word. It is calm, it is lovely, but most of all it is green!

Farctate
Filed Under F | Leave a Comment
“Farctate” is a biological term meaning crammed or stuffed, as opposed to hollow or fluffy. I like it because of its versatility. While it literally means “full of it,” it could also mean “easily passing gas,” or perhaps “blowing smoke.” In any event, “farctate” seems like a refreshing addition to the vocabulary of political commentators. (It’s mildly onomatopoeic, too.)

Intelligence

Why not? The sum of intelligence in a certain community stays constant, not depending on the numbers of the members that make up that certain community.
