A few weeks ago, one of our evaluators slipped this phrase into his evaluation, and the whole room lit up. We're still talking about it. That's Toastmasters for you: you come for the speaking practice and leave with a vocabulary upgrade.
Today's challenge: Use "exasperated pluckiness" in a real conversation. Try it on the coworker fighting the printer or you spouse at 6 AM before coffee. β
Then come back and tell us in the comments how you used it. Bonus points if anyone asked you what it means! π
ποΈ Join us Thursdays, 7:00 to 8:15 AM, South Mountain Community Church, Draper. Guests are always free.
