    Avoid these word, and see what fills the void- not using these words will add to your sophistication:

    Like
    Actually
    Duh
    For real
    Sure
    Ya know
    Man
    Dude
    Cool
    Bro
    Ho
    sucks
    Honestly, truthfully
    and any four letter word, for sure!

    Grab a dictionary. Every day, open it to a random page, and find 4 words you never heard before. You will learn hundreds before you know it.

    Well it's always good to improve your vocabulary, good question! I'll leave these up to you to google...

    - Disenfranchise

    - Reestablish

    - Cardinality

    - Paradigm

    - Transcendent

    (There are about 20,000 more, but we'll stop there...!)

    Reader's Digest used to (and I guess probably still does) have a section called "It Pays to Increase Your Word Power" which was designed to increase your vocabulary. I took a quick visit to their website, and apparently they now have an online version that you can play for free, although it does require registration. http://www.rd.com/realarcade/openRealArcade.do

    In addition to what has already been mentioned, try Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day: http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/mwwod.pl
    Maybe set it as your home page, and everyday you will be greeted with a new word to learn and build your vocabulary.

    Try these:

    Abtruse - Not easy to understand
    Amity - Friendship
    Anathema - Detested person or thing
    Asinine - Stupid, idiotic
    Assiduous - Hard working/Done with care
    Auriferous - Containing gold

    Just go through the dictionary page by page and you'll be amazed at how many words you've never heard of.
    But then the difficult part is to try to get them into everyday conversations without looking 'asinine'

    Dictionary.com will email you the word of the day - every day. You don't even have to look it up! Try to use it at least twice a day!

    Takei-Shihan

    Dot Con: The process of making money from the internet.

    Faceless: What happens when you get either vindictive or drunk and post on Facebook, someone finds it offensive and your account is suspended.

    Game-Shame: The feeling of slight embarrassment that occurs when you realize what you thought was about half an hour of game play was actually about five hours, especially when you have inadvertently missed an event to which, under normal circumstances, you would have assigned a higher priority than game play.

    Intermet: Ending friendly e-mail conversations with a new acquaintance: “nice to have intermet you.” A smiley emoticon is optional.

    Meanderthal: Someone who tries to drive or walk while using a mobile phone.

    Memail: E-mail sent to yourself to remind you to do things. Everyone else spends all day reading and sending e-mail to each other, but you prefer yours to be private.

    Nerds-Nest: The tangle of cables behind your TV or desk.

    Plugthug: Someone who’d kill for access to recharging facilities.

    Sheeple: People who have to go out and buy the latest gadget (usually one whose name starts with an “i”) just because they believe that everyone else is getting one, and they can’t bear the thought of being left out.

    Spamnesia: Failing to reply to e-mails from friends, because your computer thinks they’re spam.
