AP LITERARY TERMS (RMX) (Feat. Usher)

circumlocution: Talking a lot without saying much. Done in an attempt to be vague and avoid directly answering a question. 

classicism: music, literature, or art that incorporated ideas of ancient Greece and Rome in them.

cliche: something so overused, its not even funny. 

climax: 

No, not the Usher song.
 the most exciting part of any novel/play/movie/comic book/video game, etc. Essentially the "bass drop". 

colloquialism: slang. Pretty much the way a certain group of people speak (ie blondes saying "like" in between every other word).

Excuse the language. 

Interesting study performed by a North Carolina State University doctoral student based on questions by Cambridge Professor Dr. Vert Vaux. Highlights how different areas in the country use different words/phrases/pronunciations to describe the same thing.
