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.

Uremia

U-re'mi-a: n. "A morbid bodily condition caused by retention of waste products."

The Los Angeles Lakers did themselves a favor, trying to cure their uremia by getting rid of Rick Fox and Karl Malone.

Beat it
