I know that I wanted to post only inspiring words when I had first invisioned my word of the month.  However, since I am upping the anty with my words to the wise, so to speak, I've decided that there is room for fun, rare, dark, and just because words along with the inspiring. 

WORDS TO THE WISE

ALTILOQUENT
adj.  high sounding, pompous in speech; high flown or pretentious language

I had originally wanted to post a word of the month but wanted the freedom to do more than one a month if I so desired and even one a day if I had the gumption to do so.  So, here is my new post series, "Words to the Wise."  If you are not familiar with the idiom "word to the wise" it means that you only have to hint at something to wise people in order for them to understand the point you are trying to make.  Wise people do not need long explainations.  I had the inspiration that this would be a fitting play on words for my purposes here.  ENJOY!
