..a relatively useless word.....In 7th Grade, I wanted to expand my vocabulary, that I might express my thoughts with 'precisely' the most descriptive words.....and "like, sorta, "I'm sayin'", "things like that/this", and "you know" were not part of this Plan.......'honestly'...'absolutely'.....Neologisms have been a part of my creative writing scenario, however, for...often....there's just not a 'word' for what one is thinking......The Oxford dictionary defines thousands of times more 'words' than the average person utilizes.....most opting for the same old, tired, words with broad meanings......'awesome', 'totally', 'basically', 'really' and 'amazing' are being consciously phased out of my vocabulary, hopefully...leaving the spaces...for more descriptive verbiage.....navel gazing is for those who pose in their bathroom mirrors for even more 'selfies'.....add that word to the list!
