Again, to help us all sound smarter (even if we're not), I am presenting the weekly 'Sound Smarter'!
NEW WORD: Alacrity (uh-LAK-ri-tee)
MEANING: Quick, cheerful enthusiasm
INSTEAD: "Matt's a go-getter isn't he? I really like him"
SOUND SMARTER: "Matt's tendency to approach every task with alacrity makes him a great guy to work with."
All who describes an actual situation (not contrived) that they use this in before next Wednesday (24th) will have their name entered into a draw for a $5 dollar Starbucks or Timmy's card...
Describe the situation and how you used the word in the comments section to be eligible.
