Use Big Words Carefully: Word of the Day


Often, in one's quest to sound more erudite, big SAT words are used. It becomes embarrassing for all parties involved when the big SAT words are used improperly. Just remember that episode of Full House I mentioned in my first post. That should scare you straight.


trep·i·da·tion
n.
1. A state of alarm or dread; apprehension.
2. An involuntary trembling or quivering.

Example: Mr. Mannerz feels great trepidation when he's being tailed by a dope fiend.
