The word of the day is designed to broaden our grammatical horizons. Nothing is more impressive than casually spouting off 5-syllable masterpieces in mid-sentence – except maybe really big boobs… Anyway, every day I’ll post a new word for you to work into daily conversation so that you can wow friends, dazzle coworkers and confuse blonde girls and frat guys, because learning is fun and knowing is half the battle.

Acrimony

Ac'ri-mo"ny: n. "Bitterness of temper or expression."

I have never held more acrimony for television programmers than the day I found out Ally McBeal got cancelled. (That is sarcasm, by the way.)
