Here are 10 words that are worthy to returning to your vocabulary, plus, they will make you sound smart.

The Freep.com reported that the Wayne State Word Warriors have released their 9th annual list of words "worthy of returning to regular use". In fact Wayne State Warriors believe...

"Too often we limit ourselves to words that are momentarily popular or broadly applicable, and so rob ourselves of English's inherent beauty and agility. Alarmed by this tendency, the Word Warriors of Wayne State University propose to help rejuvenate the language we love by advocating for words of style and substance that see far too little use."

All 10 of these words are new to me, in fact I don't even think I have even read them in a book. Want to be a smart pants, test drive these words for fun!
