Words to Impress

After talking about the power of knowledge, and speaking in public, I thought it best to include this chapter. What is something else you can add to your brain, or an awesome word to throw out at your friends. Use brobdingnagian (gigantic, enormous) words if you dare to. As you grow older, more words will be introduced to you. But picture for a second, out-smarting your competitors. Their awe is ineluctable (inevitable).

How do you achieve this? Well the guide gives you some words to start out with that may be frustraneous (useless, frustrating) at first. Don't give up. The more you read and explore with vocabulary, the more you will be able to apply this words. Don't allow yourself to be stuck with quotidian (everyday, commonplace, ordinary) words in writing or speaking.

Some of these words may be risible (laughable) such as zaftig (having a shapely figure). Keep looking, and more than often, you will find words to use. If at the very least, you won't feel dumb when bombarded with these words. Be the zeitgeist (the spirit of the time) of the english language.
