Word{s} of the Day
I am feeling that since I have graduated college, my knowledge gain is stagnant. In attempts to progress learning, I am going to challenge myself with some words of the day.
These words came from reading by E. Peterson, “Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places.”
pejorative [adj] - slanderous, derogatory, insulting, bitchy
esoteric [adj] - obscure, abstract, mysterious, complex, complicated
desiccate [v] - dry, remove the moisture from; (fig) lacking interest, passion or energy
endemic [adj] - native to a certain area (usu. in ref. to plants, animals, disease or conditions)
profligate [adj] - recklessly extravagant, wasteful of resources
reticent [adj] - not revealing one’s thoughts or feelings readily
The goal now is to use them at least once today. Check for “endemic” in fb status comment. Only five to go.
