Swamped
though the word means drowning, flooded, and Swamped is used in the context of work – the phrase swamped with work is an informal way to say ‘I am extremely busy’
Catch 22
An impossible situation where you are prevented from doing one thing until you have done another thing that you cannot do until you have done the first thing:
Suave
To be suave is to be smooth, polite, and a little bit cool. Sophisticated, very polished in manner and speech
Atrocious
atrocious means very cruel, evil, brutal, terrible, offensive, appalling.
Stupendous
amazing, astonishing or overwhelming. We tend to over use the word ‘awesome’ and Stupendous can make for a good replacement. Example –
In a fix
In a fix means, in a troublesome situation.
Flummox
to confuse someone so much that they don’t know what to do. Confuse is another overused word and flummox makes a clever replacement
