If I asked you what the word "effervescent" means this past week, this is why. Let's begin this post with a humorous video. I'll explain why it's significant in a moment.
So you heard him say that Shakespeare had a working vocabulary of 54,000 words? And we now have a working vocabulary of 3,000 words. How embarrassing. These posts are simply my attempt to help the American people by building their vocabulary. Oh, and laughing at everyone's wrongness. All I did was find a word: Effervescent. I then asked my fellow classmates what they thought this word meant, without the use of any resources. Here's the real meaning of the word:
Effervescent: (adj.) Bubbly
And here are my responses:
Clay: to consistently do something
Danielle: a type of elephant
Shea: a retarded bird
Mommy: beautifully feathery (?)
Dad: BUBBLY! (I was thoroughly impressed.)
Collin: Splendid
Lynnlee: Denture Cream
Madison Thomas: a person who enjoys smelling candles (my favorite response)
Michelle: really happy
Dani: bright or flashy
Nina: confused
Shelby: bright
Madison Winn: glowing
Alex: translucent
Cody: really smart
Sam: angry
Dillon: happy
Colby: extravagant
So, now if you see a glass of champagne you can say that it is very effervescent instead of just bubbly. You're welcome.
