Word of the Day: Euphoric

Happy FRIDAY!!! We made it through the week, so let's get a round of applause!!!
*stadium screaming applause*
Why, thank you. I suppose I had a pretty good week as well. September, September. I love it!
So, I suppose we are all pretty euphoric today. Wait, you ask, Hailee, what does euphoric mean? Well, euphoric means overjoyed. Ecstatic. Jubilant. I'm moving on, so if you don't get it by now, too bad. We're all in a case of Friday euphoria, so enjoy it. Go home, eat nachos and watch Duck Dynasty. Live it up.

Si gets euphoric around firecrackers.

(we disclaim duck dynasty to a and e and all associates.)

Word of the Day: Sagacious

Welcome to the word of the day of the ONLY September 7, 2013 you will ever have!
Today's fantabulous word is sagacious.

This word means the exact opposite of ignorant, stupid, idiotic, dim-witted, etc.

Sagacious is a fancy word for smart or perspicacious (which, now that I think about it, is a veeeery fancy word itself.) If you call someone sagacious, you are notifying their intelligence and, as some people would say, Smarticle Particles.
So, sound sagacious and say it! You don't even have to tell people you found it online.

Bye, bye, my swanky readers!
(\o.o/)
(I'm not sure if I just typed a gremlin thing or a bunny rabbit. Comment below to voice your sagacious opinion.)
DISCLAIMER: I use www.dictionary.reference.com to look up this word. And I don't own this beautiful Psych picture, I believe USA does. But, don't steal this post. Not cooool.

Word of the Day: Flamboyant

This fun word to say means strikingly bold or brilliant or showy (courtesy of www.dictionary.reference.com, my source for sounding intelligent when I talk.) So, when your mom buys a painting of a flower or tree or something, tell her it's flamboyant and she'll love you forever.
Or, if you're writing your Christmas list and you want to make it extra clear that you don't want just any old crap, you can say, "I would like some positively flamboyant whateverjunk for Christmas."

Fangirl relation: "Captain America's star-spangled suit is adorably flamboyant."
                           "Sherlock's cheekbones are nicely flamboyant."
                           "Shawn, your pinapple hat is flamboyant."

Word of the Day: Homo-Sapien

 

Okay. So, I got this hilarious word from our friend Melyna, and I totally love it. If you're ever in a position where you want to insult someone but you don't want to really insult them, you're in luck. Calling them a Homo-Sapien is perfect- all you're calling them is a human! This word means, yes, a member of humankind. So call someone a homo-sapien and all you're doing is stating the obvious! :)

Word of the Day: Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia

This hilariously weird, long, and supercalifragilisticexpialidociouslike word is actually real, and it means, ironic enough, the fear of long words.

I know what you're thinking. I'm laughing too. Ha-ha, if any of you suffer from hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, I'm sorry. That is unfortunate.

This is another Word of the Day. LOL!

Word of the Day: Gongoozle

This hilarious REAL word means to leisurely watch boats from a bridge or a canal, or observe things lazily or idly. Just found this word on the World Wide Interweb- I love it already. So don't gongoozle around all day- go use this word! Confuse people! That's exactly what I'm going to do. Thank you for reading today's Word of the Day!

Word of the Day: Ort

This hilarious word means a morsel or scrap of food left at a meal. I believe this word would only be best explained using sentences:

"All I got was an ort at dinner, thanks to my family."

"You have the brain the size of an ort."

So anyway, this is yet another funny word that is super fun to hear and say. Thanks for reading today's Word of the Day!

Word of the Day: Swanky

So, it may seem nerdy, but hey; we're all nerds, deep down- I'm doing words of the day.

Today's Word of the Day is SWANKY. Now, the real meaning is fancy, obstentatious, or elegant.
But that's no fun if nothing's ever fancy!
So, it may seem weird, but my friends and I like to use it in place of awesome or cool. But, you know, the real meaning is fancy, so I guess if you're royalty or something you'll have LOTS of chances to use it correctly... :)
Start a trend in your school! Use swanky...bring it back! :)

Bringin' swanky back...lalalala
