Each Saturday night nominate three words as your possible WORD OF THE WEEK to be used during the seven days which follow. Write each word down on a slip of paper, drop the papers in a hat, and then pull one out at random. This is your WORD OF THE WEEK. Pepper the word throughout all your conversations--banter with coworkers, request for a vacation day, explaining to your spouse why the disgusting mess you left in the kitchen is not really your fault after all. The possibilities are endless. You have to choose your word nominees wisely, however. Three words recommended for WORD OF THE WEEK newbies, who are unused to the rigors of the process and need to be eased into it, are: ruffian, keister, and poppycock. Time and culture has proven the value of these classic words.
