Fabulous New Site to Increase Your Vocab!


I just discovered this incredibly fun and awesomely informative new web site - WordSpy - which covers all kinds of fun new pop-culture words. This isn't just Word of the Day meets SAT prep. Entries include new words used in the New York Times, the beginning of the phrase "Quarterlife Crisis," as well as things like "Idaho Stop" (when you don't come to a complete stop at a stop sign) or "intexticated" (when you are preoccupied by texting, particularly when driving).

I LOVE new words and throwing them around in conversation and I never dreamed there was a site like this - more reliable, academic, clean and organized than Urban Dictionary, yet extensive and helpful. I'm such a nerd that I'm actually excited to start working these into conversations and my lexicon!

About this Blog



The adventures of a twentysomething pursuing a Ph.D. in the behavioral sciences, living with the dog that is the love of my life, and battling everything from becoming an academic to small town insanity. I blog about everything related to sports, my dog, psychology and other social science stuff in the news, my dad's battle with cancer, dating in a world full of married people, and anything else I see that catches my eye!
