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.

Claque

Claque: n. "A group of persons hired to applaud a performer."

Apparently, Ashlee Simpson must've forgot to bring her claque to the Orange Bowl, Saturday Night Live, and every performance she's ever done. She also must've forgot her talent.

Beat it
