Gracious Word: Tacit

1/30/2014

 
Tacit
Word every Gracious Individual should know: Tacit  

Definition: Tacit; (Pronounced: TAS-it); Latin; adj
1. Implied or understood without being openly expressed

Why I love this word:
Have you ever just stayed silent and all you do is simply look at your friend and they just know everything you're thinking? You don't even have to say anything. Silence can often be just as powerful, if not greater than spoken words.
