Pick one of the following words (or another that looks as if it might belong on this list) and declare it here. It must begin with e and be just a little way out of common everyday vocabulary.

For the next 24 hours, find a way to incorporate that word in every message you post on fluther. Try to work it in so that it sounds like a natural part of your comment or question and not just an arbitrary inclusion. (Be sure you know what it means so you can use it correctly.)

To call out what you’re doing, put it in bold (place an asterisk before and after) like this: eighth. And keep a count so you can report back how many times you did it.

It’s ok to use a variant of a word, but not a whole other word that incorporates it; for example, for “echo,” you can use “echoing” but not “echolalia”; for “elephant,” “elephantine” is ok but not “elephantiasis.”

It’s also ok to choose the same word that someone else has picked.
