Precaucion
OK, this isn't a good or bad word, per se, but I couldn't figure out which of my blogs was most appropriate to house this post. Perhaps it's time to start Good Sign Bad Sign?
Here is a series of 3 signs posted within 15 feet of each other at the Royal Resort in Cancun.
Caution: This is not a slide!
Caution: Step on a crack and break your momma's back. (Or is that the jaws of an alligator?)

Roll
Click to view larger image
There's been so much chatter about the journalistic standards (or lack thereof) displayed by bloggers, methinks the traditional media is getting a free ride. Check out this headline on the cover of the Sports section in Thursday's Chicago Tribune -- "Favre matures into roll model." Now, I read the entire story and there is no "roll" pun in play here. Just shoddy editing. Whoever had a roll in this being published should be ashamed.

Fulcrum
Almost forgot I had promised my colleague, Jeff Campbell, that I'd use this as the inagural entry on this blog. Sorry JC, hope you'll settle for #5. Love this word. Per Webster, it means "the support about which a lever turns" or "one that supplies capability for action." Jeff was using it to discuss paid search optimization but it has myriad (ooh, that's another Good Word) applications and can make any POV sound fancy.
Reminds me of the book Fancy Nancy that I read to my 8-month old daughter Eliara every night in the hopes that she'll grow up to be a word wizard herself.

There
Guaranty
Sustanied
Chedda
What betta word to start off this blog with? Of course, the ebonics version of "cheddar" is probably not what the Great Bagel Company had in mind when posting this sign for their soup of the day. I like this word's versatility -- can mean cheese or cash. Regardless of intent, though, it will always make me think of Cheddar Bob in 8 Mile.
