Hi guys!
I was looking for some fun facts about Cleopatra for
my younger students today when I came across
the word ‘oomph’. I had heard it many times before, but mostly with reference to hair and clothes and
not personality.
I thought it would be a good idea to include it as a
random word of the day and maybe ask you if you’ve heard/ seen this word and, if so, what
context it was used in.
Oh, and I love this word when pronounced by British people ;)
See you in my next post!
