Let’s say you’re feeling particularly ornery and you want to lash out. You could write a vitriolic diatribe and post it on your social media account. But what if you don’t like the word vitriolic — say it annoys you because it sounds like I’m a sesquipedalian.<\/p>\n

If you visit Word Hippo you can type in vitriolic and see a lot of synonyms:<\/p>\n

spiteful, venomous, hurtful, acerbic, bitter, cruel, rancorous, malicious, hateful, sarcastic, vicious, caustic. If that’s not enough for you, you can click on any of those words and get synonyms for them.<\/p>\n

But let’s suppose you’re feeling the opposite. Type in “Vitriolic” and find words that mean the opposite.<\/p>\n

Word Hippo also finds rhyming words too. If you’re a poet or rap star or song writer you might find this useful.<\/p>\n

“She stuck her finger in the faucet hole<\/em>
\nAnd pulled out a nasty multi-colored troll.<\/em>
\nShe started screaming and the firemen came<\/em>
\nThey tried to save her but they all were lame.<\/em><\/p>\n

That was the end of old Lucille McDill…<\/em>
\nShe was the owner of the cider mill.<\/em>
\nNo more cider guys, the press is dry,<\/em>
\nWipe that tear that is dripping from your eye.<\/em><\/p>\n

The funeral’s Tuesday and I’ll see you there.<\/em>
\nIf you want please come and you can say a prayer…”<\/em><\/p>\n

Anyway, you can do a lot of things with words at Word Hippo including writing award-winning songs (see above).<\/p>\n

I’m not going to tell you everything else you can do at Word Hippo -besides the above you can find corrrect pronounciations, translate words, and more. You’ll have to go to www.wordhippo.com<\/a><\/span><\/strong> to find out what the more is.<\/p>\n
