Words people should use more #1

There are a lot of words from the English language that are rarely used and deserve a place in modern day culture. I have compiled a few into a list.

• canard - a false rumour
• collation - a light relaxed meal
• condign - deserved punishment
• conflagration - a destructive fire
• exegesis - an analysis
• exiguous - very small in size
• eyrie -  a high-up place
• fandango - silly nonsense
• gambit - a ploy
• gelded - weakened
• gelid - very cold

#1 Where did you grow up?

I'd like y'all to get to know me, so I decided to do so by answering random conversation starters I found around the internet.

1. Where did you grow up?

I was born in a small-ish town just outside Bath, England and have lived there ever since. Moving seems to stressful. It's a rural area. I've always wanted to live in a major city, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of people going about their lives.

But this, a little town outside Bath, England, is home. 

And I suppose is a good a place as any.
