WORD OF THE DAY

Raconteur \rack-on-TURR\ Noun – A person who excels in telling anecdotes.

Never at a loss for words, Bertha was considered the company’s foremost raconteur. She could tell stories about her work with regional transmission organizations that would make people’s hair curl. Her downfall was chit-chat on everyday, mundane happenings. She couldn’t talk about her children or social life without tying them into some anecdote about electricity and transmission capacity.

WORD OF THE DAY

Defalcate \dih-FALL-cayt\ Verb – Embezzle.

“Two dollars for the treasury, fifty-cent administrative fee for me. Two dollars for…” was the sing-song chant that rationalized the bewhiskered money changer’s nefarious plan to defalcate the “Widows and Orphans Fund” at the local church. Unfortunately for him, he forgot his Sunday school classes, where he supposedly learned that “God is Watching.” “Hot coals all around,” shouted the devil when the moneychanger met his ethereal “reward.”
