zigguwhat?

100 words every hs grad should kno. ..wtf? a lot of these are harder than the gre vocab! i don't think i've ever even seen the last word before, ziggurat? i honestly think these editors randomly put together a list of rather heteroclite and recherche words (two can play at this game!) to make themselves feel smart. to their credit tho, some definitions should be well known: euro, irony, and respiration for instance. but a few of the others...

You should be pleased to know that I learned ziggurat from playing video games.  And yes this was before I graduated high school.

funny thing, rip knew the wat ziggurat was too. and today while reading elle magazine, there it was, used to describe a dress! wtf? now i'm not sure if i've never seen it before or if i just didn't kno the word. or even if i used to and just forgot? i have no idea. ...good thing tho, on that list i think i've only not seen one other word. and nearly all the other words, i actually kno the definitons of. :)
