To finish out Word Nymph’s Enhance Your Vocabulary Week, the following word has been plucked from one of her favorite sources, The Highly Selective Dictionary for the Extraordinarily Literate by Eugene Ehrlich.
Friday’s, and our final, selection is:
Brummagem: cheap and showy but inferior and worthless.
Can you use it in a sentence three times today? If so, it’s yours.
There are still more good words from The Highly Selective Dictionary than time allows me to share this week. So if you see new words sprinkled into future posts, don’t think me bombastic, just look them up–and use them three times.
