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.

Inscrutable

In-scru'ta-ble: adj. "Not to be read by scrutiny or investigation; unfathomable; incomprehensable."

The other day, one of my friends told me that Santa Claus isn't real. This idea is completely inscrutable to me.
