Vocab. Let's Build Together!

I am a HUGE word geek. I love learning a new words everyday. I look up words of the day on Dictionary.com and try to figure out how I can use that word in everyday life. Most of the time I can't because most fancy words just sound great on their own...like the word PROSSY. Anyway, I wanted to share some fun words with you all weekly. I think it's very important that we expand our intellect in the literal aspect in this text/social network savvy world we're living in. Like I said, I am a proud word geek, so maybe it's just me that finds joy in reading the dictionary still.
