Word(s) of the Week

Some coworkers and I were discussing words we loved. Words like:

• PUNGENT (adj) - Affecting the organs of taste or smell with a sharp acrid sensation. Alternately, pointed or sharp.
• THWART (v) - to prevent the occurrence, realization, or attainment of.
• CURMUDGEON (n) - an ill-tempered person full of resentment and stubborn notions.

The curmudgeon wanted to buy a pungent cheese for lunch, but the grocery store's low inventory thwarted him.

Don't you love words?
