"Lexicon" is a fancy word for the way you speak and the vocabulary you use.

In The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian, Arnold Spirit's lexicon includes: weird, jeez, croak, rez, goofy, gut, heck.


A basketball player's lexicon includes: lay-up, rebound, screen, defense, dribble, lock-down, zone.

A teacher's lexicon includes: academic progress. goals, emerging, self-starter, analysis, curriculum.


What is in your lexicon?  (No swear words permitted)
