Gracious Word: Alharaca

5/7/2014

 
Alharaca
Word every Gracious Individual should know: Alharaca

Definition: 
Alharaca (pronounced: al-a-ra-ca); Spanish; noun
1. An extraordinary or violent emotional reaction to a small issue. 

Why I love this word:
We've all been through those days when the smallest things get to you. This word describes the emotions that get out when they weren't necessary to be expressed to that extreme. Whether it's because of the excitement you built leading up to it, or you've kept feelings bottled up for such a long time that you just exploded.
