Sometimes when I'm talking to my dad, he says "Huh, that isn't a real word". And inevitably, I have to look it up and show him the definition. So I've decided I'm going to create a list of these little words. Now this is only a list, so it's up to you to look them up and find out how to use them in your everyday conversations:

Here's the list (and I'll add to it as I come across new words, so check back often!):

  1. parse
  2. truncate
  3. obfuscate
  4. peruse
  5. ponder
  6. superfluous
  7. acquiesce
  8. arcane
  9. cajole
  10. circumspect
  11. feral
  12. inveterate
  13. deride
  14. indolent
  15. modicum
  16. furtive
  17. obtuse
  18. impudent
  19. plethora
  20. and in honor of my good friend, my english major brother from Brooklyn, Chris Silva ... vociferous
