cavort:

1. to prance or caper about.
2. to behave in a high-spirited, festive manner; make merry.

how to use in casual conversation:

"let's go cavort somewhere"
"would you quit your damn cavorting and help me clean up this dead marmoset?"

how to use if'n you're johnny cash:

"then i heard my dream was back downstream cavortin' in davenport, and i followed you, big river, when you called." (johnny cash ain't go no use for no terminal 'g')

not to be confused with:

contort

how it makes me feel:

it's not the greatest WOTD. it's short and generally well known but it's a fun word. i mean not so much in the prancing sense, but in the high-spirited-merry-making sense because let's face it, prancing is kind of gay no matter what you do. not that there's anything wrong with prancing or being gay, but merry-making is universal and if someone needs to prance during that process ok, but lets not make prancing a requirement for cavorting. maybe i just feel this way because i'm a bad prancer. whatever. i do think everyone should have to caper at least once or twice though.

editorial note:

enjoy your weekend. go cavorting. or whatever it is you do.
