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.

Porphyry

Por'phy-ry: n. "A hard, purplish-red rock embedded with crystals."

Man, a porphyry sounds an awful lot like my penis. Except for the crystals part. But come to think of it, that would be wicked sweet.

Note: I think the Word of the Day has slowly become "how many definitions can Rob find in the dictionary that somewhat resemble his penis." Sorry.

Beat it
