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.

Daltonism

Dal'ton-ism: n. "Colorblindness, esp. as to red and green."

My elementary school principal was named Mr. Dalton. He liked to molest little girls. Therefore, I always thought daltonism was synonymous with pedophilia. I guess I was only 1/2 wrong though. Red means STOP, Perv.
