Do you know what quatrefoil and impolitic mean? What about hacyon or narcolepsy? The Big Book of Words You Should Know is a handy, easy-to-read reference guide to the proper parlance for any situation. In this book readers will find: Words You Absolutely Should Know (covert, exonerate, perimeter) Words You Should Know But Probably Don't (dour, incendiary, scintilla) Words Most People Don't Know (schlimazel, thaumaturgy, epergne) Words You Should Know to Sound Overeducated (ad infinitum, nugatory, garrulity) Words You Probably Shouldn't Know (priapic, damnatory, labia majora) Whether writing an essay; studying for a test; or trying to impress friends, family, and fellow cocktail party guests with their prolixity, readers will achieve magniloquence, abullience, and flights of rhetorical brilliance. AUTHOR: Justin Cord Hayes is an experienced journalist and teacher. He has authored several books. Hayes and his wife Nicole Murn Hayes live in North Carolina with their son Parker-John.
