Procrastination Destination - Save The Words
Those smarty pants over at Oxford have decided to open up their hearts and heads and share their infinite wisdom of the English language with us. My tone sounds snarky, but it’s meant to be tongue in cheek. The website SaveTheWords is pretty cool.
Scroll over an endless collage of words you’ve probably never heard before that are begging for you to adopt them into your conversations. “Pick me, pick me,” they say.
My word today - icasm - a figurative expression. I’ll absolutely use that one.
It’s fun, it’s free. Distract yourself and actually be educated at the same time. Much more productive than watching that ridiculous orange.
