Guys..
this is not the way crowd..we should just chip in our day act in one-liners using some diff words..its more of fun and easy to learn.

Such leaning will help us to perfome better than erudites !

Exempli gratia : I was @ CCD and saw this gal in a diaphanous dress & she gave me a cold look !.....
...we can be better actually !!

.....Guys... anyone know wat the Meaning of expression
Fast & How ?.. I read in a book..cant fig the meaning in dic..its not there !!!
tada !

hi all,
Too many words and many of learning them...Its high time we start cramming the words into our vocab as we saw in 2002 almost 10 questions were vocab based,
I have this software called Crammer.exe ...those who spend their time in front of the pc can make best use of this software.
: : I think Barons word list will more than suffice the preperation for CAT Vocab.

The Best and strange word i can think right now...

Victuals : FOOD
lewd : Salacious,lecherous
Parsimonious : Miser
Vagary : eccentric bit of act,

hey there are plenty too go .....
