<p>Thought this might be an interesting topic to explore.</p>
<p>What's a strange place you've learned a potential SAT word from, or an interesting reason why you remember a certain word? </p>
<p>I remember the word "timorous" because of Doctor Who. ;)</p>
<p>"Oh, I'm- I'm dazed and confused. I've been chasing this- this wee naked child over hill and over dale. Isn't that right, ya... timorous beastie?"</p>
<p>My band teacher uses the words egregious and cavalier to describe our playing occasionally. I remember where most of my words are learned. Thing is, I just can’t remember the words right now.</p>
<p>^^ Haha, I know “egregious” because of Pirates of the Caribbean.</p>
<p>On Friday night, I was planning on doing my vocab homework, but decided to go to bed early to get extra sleep before the PSATs instead. There was this one word that I had no clue about on the PSATs. I got home, and found out that it was on the vocab list that I had put off. That WOULD HAVE been a great place to learn it… if I hadn’t decided to sleep instead…</p>
<p>“Alacrity” from a Jonathan Kellerman novel(:</p>
<p>“Myopic” when I was reading about Cillian Murphy, the best actor in the world.</p>
<p>Simpsons has a lot of sat words - some examples I can remember right now is stymie and usurp, if you can call these sat words</p>
<p>“Antithesis” from a song called “So So” by Gary Go. It’s not much of a difficult word, but it was still cool hearing it in a song.</p>
<p>Other than that, the book “The Book Thief” by Markus Zusak contained alot of SAT words like ire, flippant and luminary. Its a great read, and I’d recommend it if you haven’t already read it.</p>
<p>I learned the word innocuous while watching some reality show and it was on the SAT the next day it was pretty exciting</p>
