I enjoy using interesting words, but sometimes words just aren't heard very often, and when they pop into my head, I'm uncertain if they really mean what I think they do. So I don't use them.
So I've started looking up the words that pop into my head (probably bubbling up from a book I read long ago) so I'm certain of the definition and can use them properly.
Does anyone else have some unusual/interesting words that they'd like to use more often? Or a word you suddenly realised meant something very different than you had thought?
The two words that bubbled through my brain filter today:
Friable: meaning fragile or frangible.
Sobriquet: a nickname.
Favourite Words -
Grandiloquent: overblown and pompous.
Gracile: graceful and slender.
