Word Lists - Words of Summer!

Hi there! Here's a new feature I'm starting today called WORD LISTS!

A way to help you keep track of the vocabulary you learn is by using Word Lists.
Create a notebook of Word Lists, grouping words into categories and themes and adding more as you go!

Today I'm going to make a Word List with Words of Summer! I'm going to list the words alphabetically... but this isn't necessary. It's up to you on how you list your words!

Words of the Day!

Hello and Happy Friday!!! 😎

And since it's Friday, I've got three 'Fri-' words of the day!!! 😁😁

Here they are:

1. Frippery
2. Frisk
3. Frivolous

Frippery (n) = unnecessary showy ornament, especially on clothing.

e.g.  The frippery of her jacket made a bad impression on everyone at the meeting.


Frisk (v) = to pat someone down (pass hands over someone) in search for hidden weapons, drugs etc.

e.g. Everyone was frisked before leaving the airport.



Frivolous (adj) = not sensible or serious (for people) / silly or wasteful (for activities or things)

e.g. At 35, he's still rather frivolous with his money.
      After filing a frivolous lawsuit, his peers no longer trusted the young lawyer's judgement.



Have a great Friday and an even better weekend! 😄😄😊😊
