Derelict 1: abandoned especially by the owner or occupant 2: lacking a sense of duty
Stymie: to present an obstacle to : stand in the way of
Cantankerous: difficult or irritating to deal with
I had experiences with each of these words this week. The first was heard while listening to "Life of Pi" on an audio book while I drove between sales calls. The second was while on sales calls in New Jersey. Mike, an outside sales rep that cracks me up said that our next call was stymied by an owner in a bad mood. The third was told to me by my friend Danny last year and I heard it on a talk radio show this week as I drove.
I am really trying to expand my vocabulary and this blog will be a good way to do that. I will think, "hey, that's a good word for my blog".
Please, let me know your favorite words and why in the comment section of this post.
