What is Words Am... What?

Somewhere right now, someone just learned a word that will win them an argument next week. That someone could be you. It should be you.

We pick words that have been waiting centuries for someone to remember them, love them, and use them to insult their friends. The kind of words that make people pause mid-conversation and wonder where you went to school. They're yours now. One a day. Every day.

Sound Like the Smartest Person in the Room.
