Join in with the "Word of the Day".
Leave a comment in which you use the day's selected (not "select") word in some way. You may simply write a simple sentence, a flash fiction story, a poem, you decide.
Or, if you want, discuss how you first heard the word or ponder the meaning. Remember, words are a game to be played, not just a vocabulary to memorize.
Have fun.

Will posterity concern itself with our use of words?
"No way, man."
Each generation works words into a pattern which fits the times. The word usage of parents sound dopey to the kids.
"Gotcha!"
