Why yes I am. I do look up words when I'm unsure of the exact meaning. Here are a few I've checked out recently.

  • Perfunctory: Done routinely and with little interest or care.
  • Hegemony: The predominant influence, as of a state, region, or group, over another or others.
  • Avuncular: Of or having to do with an uncle.
  • Intransigent: Refusing to moderate a position, especially an extreme position; uncompromising.
  • Blasé: Uninterested because of frequent exposure or indulgence.
