This title in the popular 100 Words series is an informative and entertaining resource that can help anyone be right on the money when looking for words that will make a point, seal the deal, or just keep folks listening. Chosen by the editors of the American Heritage Dictionaries, these words will appeal to anyone who wants to be a more compelling communicator-as a worker, consumer, advocate, friend, dinner companion, or even as a romantic prospect.
The book includes a colorful variety of words, including handy words of just one syllable (such as glib) and words derived from the names of famous people (such as Freudian slip and Machiavellian). There are expressions from popular culture (Catch-22) and words that date back to classical civilization (spartan and stoic). Each word is clearly defined and shown in context with quotations from magazines, newspapers, broadcast media, movies, and television.
For many words, quotations from distinguished authors and speakers are also given and word histories are explained. 100 Words to Make You Sound Smart provides an affordable and enjoyable way to communicate more effectively. It offers the coveted gift of gab to anyone who needs to "say it right"-and to anyone who wants to sound more articulate. How does this book help you go from simply knowing a word to using it with confidence? Expert Curation: Trust the experts.
Every word is handpicked by the editors of the prestigious American Heritage Dictionaries for its power and usefulness. Fascinating Etymology: Discover the surprising histories behind words like Machiavellian and Catch-22, making them easier to remember and use correctly. Real-World Context: Move beyond memorization. See each word used in context with quotes from classic literature, modern films, and major publications.
