Lesson II: "I'm smarter than you"

When someone uses a word I've never heard before, I generally ask them to spell it for me. The best is when they can't - but that's what google's for.


Today's word: ESOTERIC
es·o·ter·ic/ˌesəˈterik/
Adjective: Intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest.
Used in a sentence: "Most of the people I work with engage in esoteric conversation and use eccentric wording - which is fine, because I didn't really want to talk to them anyway."
