Word of the Day
OK, a little clarification here. Once upon a time I worked at a car dealership in North Carolina and a coworker and myself had a "word of the week." This word of the week was then used as MANY times (in context, of course) as we possibly could both in and out of work. Can't say I sold many Caddys when I used the words, whatever they may have been at the time, but I think it's a great way to build your vocabulary and if nothing more turn a few heads when people have no idea what you're talking about.
