The Vocabulary of Life

Aren't words great! I have been writing for Associated Content (AC) for just a short while. My writing skills are so rusty that it is pathetic. They are improving a bit thankfully. Some times I come up with words that shock me! I don't know if it's Alzheimer's or not, but I amaze myself at times.

Now working for AC I can't just ramble. They have an algorithm that determines if I get paid or not so I have to write a little oddly to get paid. Bear with me on this if that is okay? But here is a great word game to improve your writing skills.

Britney Spears: Nefarious: Isn't that a cool word! When is the last time you used nefarious? Hell, this is the second time this week I used it. It is a fantastic word that is totally underutilized.

TheBarefoot: Ubiquitous has to be cool, it is hard to pronounce enhancing its coolness. So theBarefoot is everywhere at AC, meaning theBarefoot is ubiquitous at AC. Feel the word roll off your tongue. Great word ubiquitous.

President G. W. Bush: Ambiguity is a fine word. It in many ways describes my life. And many more lives in my opinion. Ambiguity also rolls well off the tongue. I don't know why I like this word, but I do.

The IRS: Omnipresent is another great word. Since the IRS reamed my young butt last year I had to mention omnipresent.

Iraq: Enigma, not to be confused with enema, though some feel there is a similarity.

North Korean; Supercilious, in the dictionary you will see Kim Jong Il's picture. Great word, it is like a shortened version of the sound of music classic.

Iran: Maniacal, when is the last time you used maniacal? It is so descriptive and appropriate in many instances. Add it to your vocabulary!

Paris Hilton: Superficial is another tongue roller. Very descriptive and very effective, superficial is a wonderful word for everyday usage.

Rosie O'Donnell: Ignoramus is another seldom-used word that is just so appropriate. Say the word and feel the comfortable roll off the tongue. "You silly ignoramus! What were you thinking!" Doesn't that feel great to say!

Not all great words are long, some of the best are underutilized and are still common.

Donald Trump: Jackass, how much more descriptive can you get!

I love the English language and hope that you do as well. There are so many under utilized words it is frightening. Try to expand your vocabulary and help others expand theirs.

    I am also going to keep this article in mind. I would really like to try to write a poem using some of these words. I sure it would be on the humorous side.
