| OP here. Thanks for freerice.com, which is a nice daily quiz. I have a pretty good vocabulary and I already do word of the day, but I am always looking to pick up neat expressions (the kind journalists like using, like "dead cat bounce" ad "ring-fencing the problem"). But some of the words were new to me, so thanks! |

"Schadenfreude "
Ha! "F-you lady, that's what stairs are for!" (Avenue Q) --------------------- - Back to OP: I make a list at my office of words and phrases I hear throughout the day/week and try to use them regularly. To list a few: - 'narrative dead ends' - 'morally bankrupt' - 'in the interest of transparency' - cryptic - vortex - quagmire - pettifogerry (used frequently in DC) Good luck, OP. After I had DD, I, too, feel like my mind and vocabulary went ka-pooey. |
