"Bonjour, everybody, I think fancy words are almost like magic. You can take a plain word like feather and-presto change-o!-turn it into something special...a plume! Fancy words also sound beautiful and are fun to say, especially ones in French! (Bonjour means hello). So here is a compendium (that's fancy for collection) just for you of my absolutely favorite fancy words. Use one in a sentence, it's like adding sprinkles to vanilla ice cream!" -- Nancy.
From everyone's favorite fancy girl, Fancy Nancy, comes an alphabetical guide to enhancing your vocabulary. Why say the word beautiful when you can say fancy words like exquisite, gorgeous and ravishing? Why use English words like magnificent when the French word, magnifique, sounds so much better? And why be understated (that's a fancy word for plain), when you can be fancy and speak words like rejoice, extravaganza, and draperies? With this A-to-Z guide from Fancy Nancy, enhancing your vocabulary with big, fancy words is not only educational, it's also fun!
