I'm not saying this to brag, but rather to celebrate. As a daily practice, I make it a point to learn at least one new word every day; a word I do not understand the meaning or use for. I actually just learned my new word of the day, in a Danielle Steel novel no less. The word is "rarefied", and yes, I checked the spelling twice. It's a legitimate adjective defined by Oxford as describing "a person or lifestyle distant from the lives and concerns of ordinary people." That certainly well describes the rich, shallow tart I'm reading about, and now I'll enjoy using it in conversation. I know many of you more learned and well-read than myself are probably very familiar with it but I was not. So I learned a new word today, and I'll thank my former college professors to not chastise me for wasting time reading trash novels. I learned a new word, so the time wasn't waste.
