Wednesday’s Word of the Week: Chicanery
Meaning: the use of deception or subterfuge to achieve one’s purpose.
Examples: Trickery, Deceit, Underhandedness and Skullduggery
Where I Heard It: My dad uses this all the time to describe things which block his path on the road, which I have learnt is a more of a racing term, but I suppose they derive from a similar meaning: to block or to prevent someone from doing what they want to do.
Pronunciation: Shhh-cane-are-ray

You know what, I am going to purposefully use this word sometime today. I am going to spend the whole day waiting for just the right moment 🙂

😂😂 I hope you find that moment. I love throwing in words people don’t usually use and they look at me all confused. It’s very fun.

I do the same thing with Star Wars quotes. Just toss them into conversation and see what happens.
