Gregarious (adjective) – Seeking and enjoying the company of others; sociable
Upon hearing this word, I immediately thought of a guy named Greg. But alas, this word comes from “100 Words to Make You Sound Smart,” so it certainly wouldn’t have anything to do with Greg (not even Greg Focker). Soon, I find out that this adjective refers to those who are sociable. I imagine a guy named Greg, for who doesn’t see the GREG jumping out, dancing to the song Sandstorm with people crowded around him. As I look through my reference book for support, I land on the word untenable. How fitting? I am unable to tolerate and understand this word; it just sits there screaming a person’s name. I realize that I can only resort to building a story around Greg.
So, this man named Greg, who we have already determined as sociable, gregarious that is, has people crowded around him. I imagine that he is prone to cacophony’s (sudden noises), that his thinking is capricious (sudden changes) during these social gatherings, and that he is a narcissist (self-centered). He has been known to ruin weddings, disappoint future father-in-laws, and lose cats. Therefore, he is the quintessential (best) example of a failure.
Now before you turn this fiasco of a blog off, I must say that I am trying to teach you some more words in the process. I assure you that this writing is stream of consciousness; I am writing exactly what comes into my mind (with the help of this book).
Before I sign off, I am happy to inform you all that this is not a boondoggle (unnecessary) post since you are learning many words in an interesting story. So bring out the accolades because you probably just learned a few new words.
My two questions for you are:
1) Do you think Greg would ever malinger?
2) How much do you hate me for using all these sophisticated words in a post? Just because Greg is a narcissist doesn’t mean that I am looking for attention.
