Well, Widge here. I manipulate Aaron’s Patreon to get a third season of Word-A-Week and things fall on me again. I suck. Did you hear the one about the three-foot king snake that came into my office? I’ll tell you later. Right now, it’s a triple feature of Aaron Fever at his verbalistic best. He’s the man who can sell vocabulary to the already verbose, such is his power. So without further adieu, here’s three more words that Aaron has hand-selected to bestow upon you. Accept no substitutes! These are words you can use! In conversation! You can even use them on Twitter and Facebook! And the best part is: these words are free for you to use and share! It is guaranteed DRM-free.

You thought Word-a-Week was gone for good. But since everything is trying to emulate Marvel these days, resurrection can come pretty easy. Or at least reasonably priced. Wordmonger Aaron Fever is back for a third series of one my favorite things ever. So once more: accept no substitutes! This word is one you can use! In conversation! You can even use it on Twitter and Facebook! And the best part is: this word is free for you to use and share! It is guaranteed DRM-free.

Also, this happened because you and people like you supported his Patreon. Do it. It will make you feel all tingly. More of Aaron’s shenanigans can be found at aaronfever.com.

Word-a-Week is dead. Long live Word-a-Week. Wordmeister Aaron Poole did it his way and he sends this feature off into the sunset in style. Granted, as you will see, he spent an entire month of Need Coffee video podcasting budget on this episode, so we’ll need to talk to him about that. But regardless. For the final time: accept no substitutes! This word is one you can use! In conversation! You can even use it on Twitter and Facebook! And the best part is: this word is free for you to use and share! It is guaranteed DRM-free.

We hope you will join Aaron on his blog at aaronfever.com for additional doses of his legendary shenanigans.

As Word-a-Week draws to a close, the hope is that the vocabulary receptacles in your mind have been stretched sufficiently to allow you to replenish your hopefully whetted appetite for new words…and to do this on your own. But if that’s not the case, start doing it now and avoid the rush. Seek out rarely used words. Search for arcane bits of language. Impress the few friends you have who care about such things. This is your second to last chance to…accept no substitutes! This word is one you can use! In conversation! You can even use it on Twitter and Facebook! And the best part is: this word is free for you to use and share! It is guaranteed DRM-free.

We hope you will join Aaron as he gnaws the tasty snack of knowledge, using the stomach acid of language to avoid the indigestion of ignorance.

The reason that wordsmiths like Aaron Poole can freestyle and not come off sounding like a maroon is because they have a good verbal foundation to work from. You have to learn the basics before you can start form improvised sentences at the drop of a hat. And this can come in handy when you’re trying to land a job, find a mate, or convince those armadillos not to carjack you. We don’t want to overemphasize the importance of the work Aaron is doing here, but it could, quite frankly, save your life. The press is eager to report words that kill, but never how many times words have been used to ward off danger. Don’t become a statistic, in other words. To avoid this: accept no substitutes! This word is one you can use! In conversation! You can even use it on Twitter and Facebook! And the best part is: this word is free for you to use and share! It is guaranteed DRM-free.

We hope you will join Aaron as he remixes the terrible pop song of ignorance into the dance-able, listenable hit of knowledge…using the probably-designed-to-run-on-a-Mac software that is Language.

Gene Wilder had a series–briefly–called Something Wilder. One of the most important quotes you will ever hear resulted from this show: “The problem with bad taste is that you can’t explain it to someone who has it.” So that’s why having bad taste in word choice must be self-diagnosed. Not even Wordmeister Aaron Poole can do that for you. What he can do–and continues to do–is draw your attention to words that you can use…and he does this by any means necessary. So look deep within yourself and expand your arsenal of verbiage. Accept no substitutes! This word is one you can use! In conversation! You can even use it on Twitter and Facebook! And the best part is: this word is free for you to use and share! It is guaranteed DRM-free.

We hope you will join Aaron as he teaches the capuchin monkey of ignorance how to gain the grapes of knowledge…using the experimental monkey coinage that is Language.

Not since Schoolhouse Rock has there been such rocking involving the English language. Such is the might of Aaron Poole. He is the only Wordsmith to have achieved such a level of knowledge that he is also referred to as Wordjones and in South America they refer to him as “Wordgutiérrez,” or sometimes “”Ese irlandés flaco que define las palabras.” Regardless of what you call him, he is your guardo camino when it comes to giving you the words you need so you can file them away for that crucial moment–that moment when you can break them out and use them to wow a potential mate. Because we all know that’s what language is for. So Get In There! Accept no substitutes! This word is one you can use! In conversation! You can even use it on Twitter and Facebook! And the best part is: this word is free for you to use and share! It is guaranteed DRM-free.

We hope you will join Aaron as he evolves the monkey of ignorance into the tool-using bone-smashing mammal of knowledge…using the monolith that is Language.

Language is power. Granted, power is also power. But in this case, for the sake of argument, language is power. And if you have a solid mastery of the language, you can harness that power and bend it to your will. Not in a ha-ha flying monkeys sort of way, but more in a pre-Parallax-silliness Hal Jordan kind of way. And if there’s a language equivalent of a tiny blue guy with white hair who floats around and talks funny…it’s Aaron Poole, Guardian of Verbiage. Recharge your vocabulary with his battery of linguistic power! Accept no substitutes! This word is one you can use! In conversation! When you’re trying to stick a random word into a password, thinking that will make it more secure! You can even use it on Twitter and Facebook! And the best part is: this word is free for you to use and share! It is guaranteed DRM-free.

We hope you will join Aaron as he re-edits the Ryan Reynolds comic book adaptation of ignorance into the watchable film of knowledge…with the editing suite that is language.

We’ve all had to try and make the best of a bad situation. And sometimes you have to take whatever kind of edge you can lay hands upon. In some cases, you might just need to be satisfied with the fact that you not only know how screwed you are but you can express it fully and intelligently. So yes, even when something important is broken, it’s good to have some words at your disposal. And we just so happen to know a man who’s in the business of word delivery. Without further ado, it’s Aaron Poole! Accept no substitutes! This word is one you can use! In conversation! When you’re trying to give your Siri a run for her/its money! You can even use it on Twitter and Facebook! And the best part is: this word is free for you to use and share! It is guaranteed DRM-free.

We hope you will join Aaron as he slaloms down the slope of ignorance using the skis of knowledge, all while restricting heat loss via the skull with the toboggan of language.

Sometimes you can feel in a conversation like you can’t escape. Like you’ve got no way out. Even like you’re tied to a chair. It’s in moments such as these that we need someone to step in and alleviate our lack of verbiage. So consider Aaron Poole your linguistic knight in shining armor.

Words are like alcohol. Think of the words you use everyday as your regular, workaday ale or glass of wine. And there’s nothing wrong with that–it’s comforting, in fact. However, every once in a while, it’s time for something special: a vintage whiskey or a top shelf cocktail. Think of Aaron Poole as your bartender of verbiage. He can pull one of those Cocktail flip-things and have a nice chilled glass of new vocabulary in your hand faster than you can say Yakov Smirnoff. So get Aaron to pour you on a double on the rocks! Accept no substitutes! This word is one you can use! In conversation! When you’re trying to describe to the jury why you wound up in that abandoned warehouse! You can even use it on Twitter and Facebook! And the best part is: this word is free for you to use and share! It is guaranteed DRM-free.

We hope you will join Aaron as he refills your tumbler of knowledge from the pour spout of language to slake the thirst of ignorance!

Are you in the dark when it comes to language? There’s no shame in that. However, rather than fumble for the proverbial light switch in such a situation, then wind up tripping over the proverbial Lego model of the Parthenon and bust your proverbial ass…instead we suggest to let Aaron Poole pop the glowstick of awareness in the middle of your brain. Yes, you have them in your amygdala. That is SCIENCE FACT. Anyway, that glowstick–that Re-Animator reference waiting to happen–is filled with words. And they will light your way to freedom. Or the bathroom. Whichever you need most at three in the morning. But regardless: Aaron is here! To treat your skull pan like a rave! Accept no substitutes! This word is one you can use!

There are those who say that the use of profanity is a clear sign of someone who has a lack of language skills. There are those who say that profanity is merely fun and, yes, sometimes therapeutic. Around here, we tend to think you can have the best of both worlds. It’s important to be able to curse properly and yet have an arsenal of words to draw from when the situation calls for it. And when it comes to words as weapons, your verbal Deathstroke the Terminator is Aaron Poole. When you need to lay down some suppressive linguistic fire, he’s got Ol’ Painless ready and willing. So welcome him to your army! Accept no substitutes! This word is one you can use! In conversation! When you’re trying to come up with a name for a new car you’ve designed!

The Oxford English Dictionary will eventually become so large that it knocks the Earth out of its proper orbit. There’s no need to concern yourself–it can’t be stopped.

Consider him your USB Stick of Verbiage–a resource to be drawn upon when you need that special word to convey how you truly feel. And here he is now. Accept no substitutes!

The comic book villain Bullseye could take out someone from across the street using just a paper clip. Which is impressive, yes. But without words, how could I have conveyed that notion to you? Mime? Charades? An extremely long rebus? No. We need language. After all, scientists now speculate that the Neanderthal died out because they were, in essence, trying to play Pictionary against time for important bits of communcation like “Oh crap, there’s a lion right behind you.” But Aaron is like Bullseye but with language. His word selection never misses and–bonus–can take down a ceramic bull elephant at fifty yard. So make sure he’s on your team! Accept no substitutes! This word is one you can use! In conversation! When you’re trying to name your new ska-zydeco band! You can even use it on Twitter and Facebook! And the best part is: this word is free for you to use and share! It is guaranteed DRM-free.

Are you dragged down by workaday concerns and worries? Maybe you need to scale back and get some easy wins. Like having a “100 Words to Work Gracefully Into Conversation Before I Die” list, for example. Sure, you want some in there like “Autotonsorialist” (not as perverted as it sounds) or “Mallemaroking” (Hint: Rox has probably done this) but you want reasonably easy wins, yes? Look to Aaron Poole, wordsmith, for the answer. Sure he’s got thirty-seven done…but that’s thirty-seven you don’t need to track down. He’s saving you time…and effort. Get on board! So fear not! Accept no substitutes! This word is one you can use! In conversation! When you’re trying to name your new ska-zydeco band! You can even use it on Twitter and Facebook!

Mortgages. Medical bills. The upcoming zombie apocalypse. You have so much in your life to worry about. Who has time to seek out the frontiers of the English language?

Words. There’s a lot of them. So many that it’s easy to get so flustered you can’t tell your homonym from your homo superior. But if you find yourself lost and in need of the linguistic equivalent of moss on the north side of a tree, then fear not: Aaron Poole is here. And he is to language what Bear Grylls is to stomping around in the underbrush and looking unclean. Aaron will give you the canteen of knowledge and keep you alive when all seems lost. So!

Don’t be fooled by the fact that there aren’t a lot of synonyms for the terminology of “moving house.” And don’t wonder at the notion that a building isn’t been pushed around Ireland by one relatively skinny but wordsmithy individual. No. Don’t do those things. Because you’ll simply be distracting yourself from the real issue: you need words. You need words that can be whipped out like shuriken at a moment’s notice, to defend yourself from moments of being tongue-tied…those moments that sneak up on you like ninjas wearing brand-new Dr. Scholl’s-enhanced slippers. And despite the fact he can’t afford fingers in his gloves, Aaron Poole is here to bring you knowledge! Knowledge in the form of a new, shiny word! Accept no substitutes!

The beauty of the English language is it has a word for just about anything. In fact, if you think about it, the English language was the original app. But imagine, if you will, an app with a complete manual that spans over 21,000 pages. That might freak you out a bit. But don’t be afraid–sometimes you just need to it nice and slow, one thing at a time. Or in this case, one word at a time. And the man who can ease you into the use of this massive language app is Aaron Poole. He reads those 21,000 pages so you don’t have to. (Well, to be more accurate, he sort of just skims them.) Anyway, it’s time for him to bring you another word! One picked out especially for you! (Monogramming costs extra.) Accept no substitutes! This word is one you can use! In conversation! When you’re carving expletives into the arse of a sleeping Ent! You can even use it on Twitter and Facebook! And the best part is: this word is free for you to use and share!

Sometimes the cat has your tongue. Sometimes it’s a bat. Sometimes, even, it’s a very angry hedgehog. But mostly, it’s a cat.

We’ve all been at a loss for words from time to time.

Your friendly neighborhood Aaron Poole will swing into your mind and you’ll think of the many words he’s given you down through the ages. And you will–at last–know peace.

I know, you’ve been using the words from Series 1 of Word-a-Week until they’re raw. Until the people around you have said, “Yes, yes, we get it: you are well-read and a card-carrying member of the intelligentsia already.” And you’ve been craving additional words like addicts crave the next episode of Downton Abbey. But know this: because he is a just and merciful wordsmith, Aaron Poole has kicked off Series 2 of Word-a-Week to come to your rescue. He crafts videos for words so you don’t have to. So, just as before: take advantage of this wellspring of knowledge: Accept no substitutes! He has a word you can use! In conversation! When you write things down! Even on Twitter and Facebook! You can even stick it in one of those Pinterest meme things! And the best part is: this word is free for you to use and share! It is guaranteed DRM-free.

We hope you will join Aaron as he carves the gourd of your temporary aphasia with the blade…that is Language.

So here’s some excellent news. The criminally underviewed* series Word-a-Week by the Irish Ambassador to the Internet, Aaron Poole, was completed last year. Aaron brought you vocabulary words in a manner thitherto unseen. I freaking loved it. Was glad to get each episode so we could share them here. After a twenty-five BAFTA-nominated run of Season 1, Aaron hung up his dictionary and decided to move on.

However, like most bands, Aaron and the English language are getting back together for a reunion tour. Yes, it’s a second season of Word-a-Week. Very pleased about this.

The catch is that this time around he wants you to give him words. Go to his blog and post your suggestions in the comments. And if you missed last season, I’ve posted my absolute favorite of the lot below. Enjoy.

*: Yes, everything on this site is criminally underviewed, but Word-a-Week was extra that.

Some people get depressed in the face of words. There are too many, they complain. Too many to have to contend with and remember. Aaron Poole understands your dilemma. Which is why he picks only the best, cage free, grain-fed words and provides them to you–free of charge. Take advantage of this incredible resource: Accept no substitutes! He has a word you can use! In conversation! When you write things down! Even on Twitter and Facebook! And the best part is: this word is free for you to use and share! It is guaranteed DRM-free.

We hope you will join Aaron as he stamps out ignorance with the giant cast iron boot…that is Language.
