Ok … not that I’m going to admit to recently watching The Real Housewives of NYC, but if my friend watched the show, and if she learned a new word, and it was a good one, would that be all wrong?
Word: “like, a total Polyglot“
Context: Rich NYC housewife on why it’s important her NYC kids have a French nanny and learn to speak a second language. “… because they will be traveling around the world, and like, even their home country, is, like, a total polyglot.”
Me: I’m sorry, what!? Is that even a word? Oh, snap. It is. And it’s a good one. Wow.
Me <– I mean, my “friend” <– surprised and sheepish
