Improve Your Vocabulary
Some scary movies cause me major horripilation. Oh what's that? You don't know what horripilation means? Okay fine, neither did I until I signed up for Dictionary.com's Word of the Day emails. Every day I receive an e-mail with the Word of the Day, its definition and example sentences. It's a free and easy way to build your vocabulary (and impress people with all them fancy words!) Heck, who couldn't benefit from learning something new, right?
takepart and build your collection of words by visiting dictionary.com. (Fun fact! My roomie is obsessed with the "hear" feature on Dictionary.com where you can hear a robotic voice say just about any word. I guess that's not really a fun fact. It's just something I think is waggish. But you probably don't know my roommate, so it's probably not as waggish to you. Oh what's that? You don't know what waggish means? Well, all the more reason you should go to dictionary.com)
There is also the equally awesome thesaurus.com
And FYI horripilation is a noun meaning: the act or process of the hair bristling on the skin, as from cold or fear; goose flesh.
Horripilation also sounds waggish when spoken through the robot "listen" feature.
