These words will make you laugh, make you think, & maybe even help you with school work.
Its what I like to call a deviation from the "junk food for brains".
Sometimes people think they are "pulling a fast one" or "getting over" on you, or others. It aint that easy to trip up Dafonzarelli... AND U KNOW THISSSS.... MANNNN!!!!
Spurious - not genuine, authentic, or true; not from the claimed, pretended, or proper source; counterfeit.
Former Vice President, Dick Cheney, was as spurious, as were his comments, about the economic crisis, the Bush and the Obama administrations. This is nothing new though because he was just as spurious about the war in Iraq.

Synergistic - pertaining to, characteristic of, or resembling the interaction of elements that when combined produce a total effect that is greater than the sum of the individual elements, contributions, ect.
or simply...
the cooperative action of two things to produce an effect greater than the sum of their individual effects.
Synergy, or synergism, for the most part, pertains to a scientific effect on chemicals and/or muscles. I perceive synergy just as applicable to sociological interaction, or how we get along with others.
This is regardless of personal feelings for another person. There may be situation where a person that you get along with, or are fond of, but can never accomplish a meaningful task with this person. On the flip side, there are people who you may find annoying, or just do not like, but will have an uncanny ability to work well together and get things done. This is not to say that the opposite can not be true for both statements.
So for this week draw awareness of your synergy and identify the persons whom, when you form cooperative action with, help you to produce a greater effect than you on your own...
and the persons that cause you a lesser effect than you on your own.

1. apparently good or right though lacking real merit; superficially pleasing or plausible: specious arguments. 2. pleasing to the eye but deceptive.
Leading into the current economic crisis, many banks gave out specious loans to home buyers, where the loans looked to be affordable but in the end were not.
I acknowledge that the solution should overshadow the problem but sometime we need to find the source of the problem in order to find the proper solution.

I am aware the Black History Month is over but I started a week late so I'll wrap it up on this word of the week. I'm choosing Malcolm X, as last week, February 21, was the anniversary of his assasination.
efficacious - capable of having the desired result or effect; effective as a means, measure, remedy, etc
Malcolm X was efficacious for the civil rights movement. His ability to draw large crowds for his speeches, all over the country, was instrumental to the advocacy of African American rights.
Quotes
Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.
If you're not ready to die for it, put the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary.
I don't even call it violence when it's in self defense; I call it intelligence.
A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything.

Avant-Garde (1) of or pertaining to the experimental treatment of artistic, musical, or literary material. (2) unorthodox or daring; radical. (3) radically new or original
On this day, February 23, back in 1868, a prominent figure in Black History, W.E.B. DuBois, Was Born. Dubois was an avant-garde Civil Rights Activist and sociologist. He explored many avenues in an attempt to correct America's faux pas of racism the 20th century.

Audacious - (1) extremely bold or daring; recklessly brave; fearless: (2) extremely original; without restriction to prior ideas; highly inventive: (3) recklessly bold in defiance of convention, propriety, law, or the like; insolent; brazen
In continuing in the Black History Month theme, for this weeks word of the week, I'll use a popular figure in black history, Frederick Douglass. I guess, there is really no need to go into what he has done with his life.
Frederick Douglass was audacious in speaking out against slavery, despite, at the time, being a slave himself.
Last week I had the privilege of speaking to my 9 year old niece, she was all excited to tell me about what she learned about Madam CJ Walker (ironically I had did a post on the same day she called). Strange thing was that her version of events withheld the very important portion of information, that Madam CJ Walker was a slave before she became a self-made millionaire. Why is that so important?, you may ask. Well, its not to keep the stigma of slavery on the hearts of Black/African American youth but I think its inspiring, to even non-black/African American children, to learn that a person born in slavery(or in slavery times) can become a millionaire in America.
I mean, is that not what black history month is about?
"What was possible for me is possible for you. Do not think because you are colored you cannot accomplish anything. Strive earnestly to add to your knowledge. So long as you remain in ignorance, so long will you fail to command the respect of your fellow men."

Perspicacious - having keen mental perception and understanding; discerning
In Honor of BLACK HISTORY MONTH, I'm choosing, for this week's word of the week, a person whom I had the opportunity of doing a report on back in elementry school. I did not choose this person he was actually deligated to me by my 5th grade teacher but I have never forgotten the history of this person. The person I'm referring to is Ralph Bunche, he was the first 'person of color' to win the Nobel Peace Prize(1950), a prize he won for mediations between Jews and Palestinians back in the late 1940's. In addition to being a diplomat, Bunche was also widely know for his continual ties to the education field and worked for prestine universities such as, Havard and Howard. Not to mention, that as a prominent African American of that time, he was impelling and expressive during the civil rights movement as well.
Ralph Bunche was perspicacious in his writting entitled, "A World View of Race", in which he compared racism and class warfare.
