Have you Heard These Clever PR Terms?
As a word junkie, I’m always excited to uncover a new language resource. I recently stumbled upon Word Spy, a site that indexes clever PR terms and novel or underappreciated words and phrases. It’s unique in that it tracks neologisms that are both useful and usable. As the site describes, “Word Spy…[looks] for fresh words and phrases that aren’t mere ‘stunt words’ or ‘sniglets’ that were coined once and then never used again.”
Poking around Word Spy is an intriguing way to waste the better part of an afternoon, but it might come in handy during a writing project when the words just don’t feel quite right…

My favorites of the site’s clever PR terms and writing words
When good writers can’t find the topic…
They turn to default stories…
Or social media…
They go all in with the nouns…
But still stick to good grammar…
Even if they’re twisting the story a bit…
