Hello everyone, I hope that everything is ok with you…
When I was surfing in the net I found a good issue, it’s about words that are not common with the most people.. some of them are new, perhaps you will be the first in your class to learn them…Anyway, I believe they will add something to your dictionary..
Freegan
Someone who eats only what they can get for free. Street kids and misers are largely freegan.( the word comes from vegan, which is someone who doesn’t eat meat or animal products).
Uptalk
You may do this yourself, but we hope not. Uptalkers turn up the last word or syllable og sentence to make it sound like a question even thought they are just making a statement. They will say " I’m going to school ?? " "I’ve lost my lunch ?? " I bought some sew shoes ??" .
They are just statement of fact, but uptalkers make everything soud like a question. Weird !
