VocabDaily Free

I’m reviewing a damn word-of-the-day app! Yeah, I’m kind of phoning it in today.

VocabDaily Free pulls the Word of The Day from Merriam-Webster’s website and shows it to you. Fascinating!

It’s actually pretty good if you’re a gigantic word nerd, but the reality is that you probably don’t want to start forcing these words into your daily conversations unless your goal is to have the entire world laughing at you behind your back.

Here’s how NOT to put the Word of The Day to use:

Hot Girl: “Gosh, I’m really sick!”

You: “What you need is a theriac!”

Hot Girl: “What the hell’s a theriac?”

You: “You are a major oaf. Why do you have to be so bilious?”

Hot Girl: “You’re a huge nerd and I’ll never go out with you.”

You: “You’re a fifth column.”

Ok, I didn’t use fifth column correctly, and if I had I’d be forced to punch myself in the face. Seriously, though, expanding your vocabulary is never a bad idea. Who knows, maybe the ladies (or guys) will be impressed after all! Yeah, probably not. Eh. Whatever.

(Taptation puts ads on the free version and for $.99 you can get it without ads. Yawn.)
