Wanted to try a new idea, see if you guys would like it. Here's how it works:

I'll post a new word, once a day, with the pronunciation, and the meaning. And then I'll use the word in a sentence that has a Princely context. For example:

circumlocution \sir-kum-lo-KYOO-shun\, noun:

The use of many words to express an idea that might be expressed by few; indirect or roundabout language.

Sentence: Prince has been known for confusing both journalists and fans alike with his frustrating circumlocutions during interviews.

How's that?

Also, feel free to use this word in your own sentence on this thread.

P.S. I'm no English grammar scholar by any means, I just wanted to share with you all these new words I'm picking up. I'm sure some of you who are better at vocab words know these already. Cheers!

The mohel gave me a circumlocution.

When you look up this word in the dictionary, it has a picture of my avatar next to it... 8)

LMAO@ya'll

Come on baby, do the circumlocution

Prince use to say a lot of dirty circumlocutions, but he doesn't anymore.
