Bloomberg TV's Pimm Fox Takes the Vocabulary.com Challenge

In a segment that aired last night on Bloomberg TV, Vocabulary.com executive producer and lexicographer Ben Zimmer appeared on Pimm Fox's "Taking Stock" on Bloomberg TV, describing the adaptive learning power of Vocabulary.com and the Vocabulary.com App.

As part of the segment, Zimmer quizzed Fox on three extra challenging words players with advanced vocabularies might encounter in the game: lagniappe, absquatulate, and defenestration. Watch the segment to see Pimm's best guesses, and learn what those words actually mean.
