My new favorite words

I've gotten tired of using the same old words when I say things, so I decided it was time to branch out.

Here is a list of the top five words I have been using most often, just because they're more fun to say than their standard, more common synonyms. Try them on for size in conversation:
  • provocative: This is the #1 word I have been using, usually in a good way. "I really liked the ending of that book because it was so provocative."
  • spry: How better to describe Cloris Leachman on Dancing With the Stars?
  • irritated: Because it's much more meaningful than saying you're angry or upset
  • perplexed: "Confused" means I'm not sure, but "perplexed" means I just can't decide...
  • orchestrate: The verb, ie: "That was quite a surprise party you orchestrated last week."
