i've decided to make the four right chords can make me cry more educational!

for the next 5 posts, i'll include a new section known as "word of the post" (ooh, what creativity!). i'll introduce a new word every post (duh), and all readers will boost their vocabulary! the first word will begin with "B", the second with "E", followed by "C" (we all know were this is going), then "K" and finally (i assure you, the last word will be the most stupendous) "Y"!!!

the unique thing is, i will choose the words to reflect bits of my character as well. (although its entirely up to you to figure out how the words apply to me) so not only will you learn more english, you also learn more about me. fancy that!

WORD OF THE POST

B for Blandish (verb)

to praise somewhat dishonestly (source: Princeton University)
to flatter with kind words or affectionate actions; to caress; to cajole.
to make agreeable and enticing. (source: Webster's)

[Middle English blandishen, from Old French blandir, blandiss-, from Latin blandr, from blandus, flattering. See mel-1 in Indo-European Roots.]
