Ok folks of AR don’t get your shorts tied up over this. I never knew this word existed until I was scanning over Webster’s ©. Anyway I really don’t know anyone with this affliction but I know they exist. Since I don’t have this problem I just can’t understand this problem. The meaning of (pe thet’ ik fal’ e se): the attribution of human feelings and characteristics to inanimate things such as a stubborn door or angry sea. Sorry I just don’t see it. Is there anyone out there that has this problem or know of anyone? Join wordsmith on Activerain 11/16/2010

  Now I bet some of you are looking at the word for today and wondering what in the world is he talking about.  Well I’m here to tell you I have done it more than I care to discuss.  Even once is too many but we all do it or have done it so I’ll get right to it.  The meaning of (di spyoo’ mat) to skim off.  Take the unnecessary language out of your contracts and “despumate” them clean and anew.  Join wordsmith on Activerain. 11/15/2010

  Are you one of the agents who can and does lose paperwork on a daily basis?  Do you have trouble finding your files?  If so join the crowd and I’m proud to join your ranks.  I personally can fill out a contract and listing now and not miss a beat but keeping up with the paperwork after that is a daunting task for me.  The meaning of (sur’she e rer’ e) a discretionary writ from a higher court to a lower one, or to a board or official with some judicial power, requesting the record of a case for review.  Keep all your paperwork in order in case the Real Estate Commission has questions about the contract.  Hopefully you will never be brought up before the commission but you never know these days.  Join wordsmith on Activerain. 11/14/2010

  WOOOHOOO!!! I found another one that is.  Agents do this all the time and I bet ya never thought about it at all.  Now the question is how you are going to use it either showing another agent how you know words they did not know existed or to use it with one of your clients.  I would like to hear from you on how you did it.  Now for the meaning of (turj) a person who supposedly works miracles; working wonders.  Love it just love it.  Join wordsmith on Activerain. 11/13/2010

Do this and you will move up not only in your agency but also in the rankings for your area.  Who knows you may even open up your own agency and become associated with success wherever you go.  Now for the meaning of (ban' er et') a knight allowed to lead his men into battle under his own banner.  Be the leader in your agency take the banner and run be successful in your every endeavor and enjoy the goodness that comes with it.  Join wordsmith on Activerain.  11/12/2010

We do this all the time and think nothing about it. You use these substances daily and yet do you ever stop and wonder where they came from or how they were found? Just think about the hospitals and the food service industry just to name two. The meaning of (ab’loo ent) that makes clean, any substance used for cleaning. Now go scrub with abluent and clear your minds for the new group of words I’m going to throw your way. Join wordsmith on Activerain. 11/11/2010

I am smiling and thinking how I like to post these posts.  Coming up with words like the one above makes it worthwhile and sometimes they are hard to find.  When you read the meaning of the word(s) I think it will bring a smile to your face and you will think OH YEA!! I know one like that.  This is a fun post so no one needs to take it seriously cause cousin it's all in jest.  Now for the meaning of (tur' she em kwid') something of uncertain or unclassified nature.  Don't you just love it?  Join wordsmith on Activerain.  11/10/2010

  I have introduced Jessie to you awhile back.  My wife trained her to ring the bell located on the back door to go do her business.  Alas that’s a tragic thing.  She rings it to go get some rays, chase a squirrel, to check the temperature and sometimes I swear just for fun.  Maybe I can get her a job at the Salvation Army this Christmas as a bell ringer.  What do you think? 11/09/2010

With my first blog in this Activerain community I referred to my best friend at the agency Rob.  He is a hardnosed Democrat and I'm just the same but Republican.  We differ on a lot of issues and at the end of the day or in our case the never ending day we still have lunch and agree to disagree.  We talk almost on a daily basis even if we are not at work.  We get along so much that he followed me from one agency to another.  So the meaning of (ban' ter) to tease or make fun of in a playful, good natured way.  Pity the leaders of our government can't play by the same rules and get something done.  Join wordsmith on Activerain.  11/07/2010

Do you do this to new agents?  I had some (seasoned) agents do this to me but I had no clue about how the real estate market was when I joined in.  Man oh man did I get an awakening and fast.  I did everything I was told and nothing happened.  Frankly if someone had set me down and walked me through some of the pitfalls (and there are many) I think it would have helped.  The meaning of (nas' sent) beginning to form, start, grow, or develop.  Help the new agents get their foot on the ground and sometime in the future when you are having some difficulties they in turn may help you through those times.  Join wordsmith on Activerain. 11/06/2010

If you're willing to post something make sure like AR recommends you're not violating any copyrighted material.  Second make your posts stand out so people can read them.  Then wait for the comments to flow.  In your real estate contract there is no difference.  When you write something in the contract make it stand out, it's your work and duty besides you should be proud of the work you do.  The meaning of (me jus'kyool) a large letter capital or uncial as in medieval manuscripts.  Wright like your livelihood depended on it cause neighbor it does.  Join wordsmith on Activerain. 11/06/2010

Hey if your around my neck of the woods and don't want to do this then please send them to me I'll pay you a referral.  Actually I've sold several of these.  People are looking for these all the time and I'm happy to say I've helped them find these.  The meaning of (ma' se net') a small house; cottage; a duplex apartment.  Join wordsmith on Activerain. 11/05/2010

You know I've met a couple of people who do this.  I personally don't care to be around them but on the other hand here we go.  As agents who are in charge of their own business we all practice this on a daily basis.  Now your challenge is to use this word in the next week.  The meaning of (mag nil' e kwant) speaking in a lofty style, boastful or bombastic.  Don't we all tell the client we are the best darn agent in the area?  The truth is I am :-).  Join wordsmith on Activerain. 11/03/2010

Ok weather you know it or not you do this on a daily basis.  This is especially true on a first impression.  I do wish you would practice this it will benefit you in the long run.  You may look up the meaning or take my word for it.  I'll try and dissect this one are you ready here goes.  (Ge mut lich keit) warm cordiality; agreeableness; friendliness; congeniality.  Be warm and friendly to your clients, family members and everyone and watch your business grow.  Join wordsmith on Activerain 11/03/2010

We've all had them and I for one like it.  If these friends and clients or family members are this it may or may not be your cup of tea.  Depending on how you dissect this word you can come up with many meanings.  The ones I'm going to use is: too particular or precise; fastidious; fussy.  Don't you just love it if so join wordsmith on Activerain. 11/01/2010

That's right boys and girls are you ready for a reckoning?  Man I sure look forward to it happening to me.  Why just the other day I told my wife while watching television there was a reckoning coming and its going to happen Friday.  Each and every one of us looks forward to that day.  The reckoning I'm speaking of is: the settlement of an account as in closing...  WoooHooo a payday!!!  Join wordsmith on Activerain you know it's a hoot...   10/31/2010

Ok I'll have some people that will argue with me and I'm ready.  I remember a scene from Patton the movie.  The higher ups were in a meeting talking about the German push in the Battle of the Bulge.  Patton advised the commander he could attack in a matter of a few days.  The speaker for Montgomery's troops wanted to fall back and re-group.  Patton told him he did not like to pay for "real estate" twice.  So if you retreat on your commission, ethics or standard you are retreating.  Think about it and have a wonderful day 10/31/2010

So I take it you're going to vote next Tuesday.  I know that I will God willing.  Who will I vote for well that's one of the rights I still have and don't have to tell?  Do I think all politicians are evil and the antichrist of course not but some need to go?  As this political event takes its final bow.  All the mudslinging will get started anew in a couple of years I found this word and thought it appropriate the meaning of (mal ad min' e ster) to administer badly; conduct (as public affairs) corruptly or inefficiently.  Join wordsmith on Activerain. 10/31/2010

Everyone is doing this even if you believe you are or are not.  Inquiring minds want to know so tell me are you?  You old military guys and gals might recognize this word.  It's a phrase you used in the military.  It originated in France but now is in every military base that I know of.  The meaning of (ke vev) whose side are you on?  A sentry's challenge, lookout on the alert, who goes there.  So tell me are you on the lookout for the change in the market that is sure to come?  Join wordsmith on Activerain. 10/29/2010

When this market recovers and it surely will I hope that it lasts for a quindecennial.  I hopefully will be around and still on my feet doing this business.  Maybe I'll have a grasp on this line of work and be able to better serve my clients.  If you haven't grasped this I believe you are never and I repeat never too old to learn and the learning process never stops.  By the way (kwin de sen' e el) means lasting fifteen years.  Join wordsmith on Activerain. 10/28/2010
