Word of the Day with Alex Malt
Here to help us expand our vocabulary is comedian, writer, director, and producer Alex Malt. Born in Boston, and never not a Masshole, Alex discovered a love for writing and a love for causing trouble at an early age. He also discovered he had a talent for both. He survived PTSD, a police beating, rehab, and a life of severe social anxiety. He isn't the outlaw we expected, but he is the outlaw we didn't know we needed, either.

Today's word of the day is "peremptory", which means to expressive of urgency or command, or marked by arrogant self-assurance.
Did you know: Peremptory comes from Latin perimere, which means "to take entirely" or "to destroy." The prefix per- means "thoroughly," and emere means "to take." Implying the removal of one's option to disagree or contest something, peremptory stays close to its roots.
