Something New

Learned a new word today. Exoteric. It’s the antonym of an occasionally used word, but I’ve never seen this one. Here it is in a sentence, “Why is the word exoteric, not exoteric?” (Hint : It’s like, “Why is the word abbreviation so long?” Except that I thought of the above saying myself. So don’t rip me off. Please.) Still wondering what exoteric means? Its antonym features in this sentece, “Why is the word esoteric, so esoteric?” Admittedly, that’s not gonna help if you don’t know what esoteric means, but esoteric is way more commonplace than exoteric (I wonder why?).

If you still have no idea, look it up in a dictionary! Too lazy? (I can hear you yelling “Gimme the damn definiton and stop being a dick!”) Yeah I thought so. Well bud, you’re on the Net. The largest informational resource base in the solar system. Um, you could try www.dictionary.com. Just a thought. Sometimes you forget.

“esotericism?????”
“Funny how the word esoteric is esoteric, huh?”
“no, i don’t know what it means!!!”

(The bewildered participant in this conversation shall not be named. Otherwise she’d kill me.)
