Word Ranch

Certain words carry an aura of mystery with them, either because their meaning is obscure, or perhaps they are used less frequently, or they they are consisted by a group of characters that just look good together. I will use and re-edit this post to keep them all group and prevent them from running stray.

cantankerous : Ill-tempered and quarrelsome; disagreeable
irascible : Prone to outbursts of temper; easily angered.
ubiquitous : Existing or being everywhere, or in all places, at the same time.
vernacular : Being or characteristic of or appropriate to everyday (localised) language (visuals - aesthetics)
