Super Memeo was a bit heavy on me…probably more suitable at younger ages. I want to use this thread (if the moderator did not delete it) to add one word everyday which I come across on that day and think I should memorize. You are welcome to explain the meaning of that word if it has another meaning other than the one I mention.
