Yes, we have boring vocabulary words: calumniate, perambulation, alacrity, votary, orisons, phantasmagoria, alameda, fain, tatterdemalion, mendicant, refulgent. Listening to the words (so we can attempt proper pronunciation) at m-w.com is about as exciting as it gets around here.
I am glad and relieved after reading Amy’s escapades with vocabulary words like concupiscense, morass, fetish, etc., that we have dull vocab words. Her vocabulary class would just about give me a nervous breakdown.
For Enquirer readers, our words are from Tales of the Alahambra by Washington Irving — a non-edited version. I don’t even want to know where Amy gets her vocabulary words.
Oh, yeah, and go buy some of Amy’s soap. It’s fancy schmancy.
