metaphors

Addlebrained, pernicious, bellicose. I love words. I confess: every day in my email there's a new word of the day from Merriam-Webster. I don't actually learn a new word. No, either I know the word or I'm too lazy to use the word three times in the day, the practice which is supposed to solidify your knowledge of said word (as long as you said the word, three times at least). But I do get to hear the new word in my head (some would argue I hear more than that in my head). I get to roll it around on my tongue before deleting the email.
