resthead

A derogatory but humorous insult I made up to describe someone who doesn’t get up early or (more typically how I use it) someone who sleeps in. I use the word disparagingly and to motivate my family and friends to get out of bed. If used on a stranger, they may be confused or offended, or they may even chuckle.

Dominick: *Still asleep at 10 a.m.*

Me: *Wakes Dominick up* Hey, get up you lazy bones resthead or you’ll be late for your morning class!

agog

excited and very interested to find out something or with a high amount of anticipation

I was agog to see the new Batman movie in theaters.

crass

lacking refinement, good judgment, intelligence, and sensitivity; very stupid and lacking sympathy or understanding in any sense

A crass remark had been made about my grandmother not having good comprehension and being slow to process information she receives because of her old age.

banal

so common as to be obvious and boring

I am not a big fan of the banal talk of daily weather.

literally

An informal, and rather incorrect, way to say something figuratively happened or is, adding emphasis or strong feeling to get your point across.

Person 1: You’re not telling me the truth. What’s the full story?

Person 2: I literally told you everything that happened and gave full detail on my best friend’s whereabouts last night.

squalid

extremely dirty due to poverty or neglect

There are lots of cities in India that are squalid and polluted.
