100 Words a Day 30


“Dude, your writing is so pretentious sometimes.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Susurrate, what the hell kind of word is that?”

“First off, it comes from Spanish. It means to whisper. Second, it’s got some good S sounds. Third, have you ever heard the noise trees make? It’s like a hiss, but not exactly. So really, susurrate is a great choice.”

“Pre-tentious.”

“It’s not my fault you have the same level of vocabulary as your students.”

“But it is your fault that you pick big words that people don’t know.”

“I just have a big vocab. I read a lot.”
