Two Words for the Weekend

I recently heard someone use the word "esoteric". I didn't quite know the meaning of that word, so I looked it up. It means "understood by or meant for only the select few who have special knowledge or interest." Great word. And it has a great antonym, exoteric, which means "suitable for or communicated to the general public." Esoteric and exoteric: good words to know.

I'm looking forward to saying "Well that's very exoteric" at the next opportunity. Good work.
