Guest Dyptheria Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Originally posted by Dr. Dazzle Antidisestablishmentarianism..... For the record: This word is long, but not new to most peoples vocabulary by any means. The root word is establishment, something we're all familiar with by the time we're fourteen, and then the word has two prefixes and two suffixes added to the root word. This thread is about expanding vocabulary. that is not a vocabluary expansion, because we are all familiar with the word and its methods of conjugation.... My contribution: Acquiesce Definition: To unwillingly agree to do what someone wants, or to let them do what they want, without arguing or complaining. This word is often in text, but i've never used it in speech. I had a girlfriend once who was a genius and she would use this word and it would drive me nuts because it sounded do damn silly to use such non-colloquial terms. I use a larger vocab to speak with the people i work for, to impress them, but fuck people who try to use it in casual circumstances, you just sound like you're trying to be posh or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
