Word of the Day: Musicphile



A person who thoroughly enjoys listening to a wide selection of music, and varied musical genres.
                                   -- Urban Dictionary

Musicphile-- Is this really a legitimate word? I thought the definition above would better describe the word "audiophile" but when looking up "audiophile" it seems it is more related to quality of sound than actual music itself.

What are your thoughts?

3. An epidemic of stress, overwork, waste and indebtedness caused by the pursuit of the American Dream.

Word of the Day: Swagger


     Thought it'd be appropriate to start things off with the Word of the Day.

Swagger
1. How one presents him or her self to the world.
2. A person's style- the way they walk, talk, dress.
3. Swagger is to move with confidence, sophistication and to be cool.
-Urban Dictionary

Synonyms: verb.            strut, prance, vaunt
                  noun.           strut, swank
                  adjective.     swell, stylish, chic, spruce

     How would you define the word? Maybe a certain person comes to mind? Keep a look out for the Swagger List. ;)
