Vocab Daily

Ok, so this is how it goes. Each day I give you a word and each day you have to use that word at some point during the day. Then each day you tell me how to YOU used this word. I will try to find words that very few people know and are, well, slightly insulting. That way you can insult people without them knowing what you are saying and if they do, well, that ***** for you.
There are two goals to this:
1. To give people a wider range of insults.
2. To get some good laughs.
First word of the day is:
Maniacal: –adjective
of or pertaining to mania or a maniac
Have fun. Can't wait to get feedback!

Chthonic: Adjective (Pronunciation: k sound, as in cut, th sound, as in thorn, on as in 'turn it on', ick as in 'trick')
Literally meaning earthy, or of the earth. In English, and as an idiom in Greek, referring to the spirits of the underworld, the spirits of the dead, and the gods of the underworld.
I love it only because it has four consonants in a row. Fun for hangman.

Scratch that. Top hangman word is now "syzygy".
Also, playing hangman the other day, I got people to guess all 26 letters of the alphabet before finally getting the word "egg". 'G' was their last guess. It was epic.
