man my OED app has been giving bullshit words of the day like "frenzy" "prestige" "vacant" and stuff ive known since i was a kid, and here on twitter you get gems like "verve" which is an actual WotD

"frenzy” “prestige” “vacant”

Wow I feel like almost all adult native speakers will have heard of a feeding frenzy, a vacant lot and a prestigious award. Those look like good words of the day for speakers of English as a second language of 2-5 years maybe.

right? I had to check myself: "am i that pretentious that I use this many words average people don't know?"and there's no good way to ask that question without sounding even more pretentious

Verve is a US record label and you need to know it.
