Don’t hate the word, playa; hate the dictionary.
- Brian Celio
It’s time to bring these babies back from obscurity!
Cozen – lie to, cheat, deceive
Betwixt – between
Trousers – pants (my mom used to call jeans dungarees. I loved that.)
Religion is the everlasting dialogue between humanity and God. Art is its soliloquy.
- Franz Werfel
It’s return of the words! How about these babies?
Soliloquy – The act of talking to oneself
Tomfoolery – Foolish or silly behavior
Ballyhoo – a clamorous and vigorous attempt to win customers or advance any cause; blatant advertising or publicity.
The short words are best, and the old words are the best of all.
- Winston Churchill
There are some really awesome words out there that are rarely used. I say we have a revival of these words! It’s time to dust them off and bring them into our day-to-day vocabulary. First off:
Darn Tootin’ - I love guys saying this. I don’t know why. It’s much better if there’s a wink that follows this.
Haberdashery – The definition is someone who sells men’s clothes. However.. I think this word could be replaced for confused or overwhelmed. Example: “This party is a haberdashery!” or “Our conversation is a haberdashery of ideas.”
