Why learn this word? It would be a completely believable excuse to get out of work. I don’t care if you’re June or Ward Cleaver, you’re going to have a day in your life when you just simply feel like playing hookie. Stick with me here. Imagine you are the boss, and your employee calls you up and says they have this. Have you ever heard this word before? No. Would you know how to spell it without seeing it? No. Would you have any clue how to even pronounce it again assuming you were going to try to track down its meaning to catch your little minion in a lie? Didn’t think so.
