Words With TEG
You're probably in my category: we hear or read new words, look them up for the meanings, then forget to use them in sentences, write-ups, or word games, until the next time our paths cross and then we go "oh, I've seen this word before now... I don't seem to remember whatever it means". Sometimes, we get their meanings from the context in which they were used at the time. Either way, our vocabulary has improved, but in a passive manner.
So I came up with Words With TEG: a section of TEG that would solely keep us abreast and conversant with new words and in turn, I get to sound refreshing everytime I put out something or try having conversations.
Words With TEG would be about new words that I've come across. It would be shared weekly as well as used in most of the articles that'd appear on TEG for the week, that way our brains get sort of acquainted with them and in turn help us relay our messages effectively while communicating and in word games. Lol.
This week on Words With TEG, three words made it to the table:
Eviscerate: (Verb) To destroy or make ineffectual or meaningless.
Cathartic: (Adjective) That releases emotional tension, especially after an overwhelming experience.
Quiche: (Adjective) Extremely appealing to look at; sexually alluring.
I came across the "Eviscerate" and "Quiche" while watching a movie. "Cathartic" was from an article I read not long ago and believe me when I say that I didn't quite get "Quiche" to mean what I'd found in the dictionary. The scene shows they were talking about an 18 year old's room... "mom, you quiched my room?!" was the question and I'd expected to see 'change' or 'decorate' as words related to its meaning, but alas... I picked interest because words that start with the letter 'Q' are rather rare, especially in the game of scrabble.
I'm already very excited just thinking of all the possible ways they would fit into sentences this week. I know you are too! I'm quite certain it is going to be cathartic! See, I'm already practicing! 😅
Always with love and good vibes. 💕
