For this, our second day of the beloved A to Z Challenge, I have brought you another beautiful but obscure vocabulary word.
Today's word is: BATTOLOGIZE
Battologize is defined as needlessly repeating a word or phrase; to iterate.
Reasons to know this word:
-When someone nags you about the same thing over and over, yell at them to stop battologizing. They'll be so confused that you'll have enough time to make your escape!
-You can use it ironically in a song. For example, write the lyric "I will not battologize" but use it in the chorus.
That is an AWESOME word. And one I really do need to learn, since I have a problem with forgetting how to English, and losing all access to my synonym files. It would also come in useful during writer critiques. Thanks! :)

I love new words. At work, we have a Word of The Week that we try to use as much as possible in that week. Word for this week: knackered. Great idea for A to Z.
ReplyDeleteGreat word, and great A to Z theme!

Great theme. I can't wait to learn and use all the words you'll put forth in the challenge. As a mom I must say that I battologize, "brush your teeth".
