Moira Rose’s Vocabulary

We have been binging Schitt’s Creek on Netflix as of late. It’s a hilarious show and one I recommend fellow word nerds check out. The character Moira Rose (played by the wonderful Catherine O’Hara of Home Alone fame) has an extensive vocabulary, and you’re sure to learn dozens of fun words just by listening to the crazy stuff that comes out of her mouth.

One that comes to mind is “sagacity.”

According to Merriam-Webster, “sagacious” is an adjective meaning “of keen and farsighted penetration and judgement (discerning).” “Sagacity” is basically a fancy word for wisdom.

Also. Moira Rose dons the most off-the-wall outfits and hairstyles. Just look up a GIF of her, and you’ll see what I mean.
