Agent provocateur
I stumbled upon Posterous and found it too cool to miss so I decided to blog about something. Since I already have a blog, a private blog, a photo blog (sorta), two handwritten journals I am running out on things to blog about so this is what I came out with:
A word blog.
It's brilliant! I could use some new vocabulary you see and I should make full use of the Oxford dictionary I bought years ago.
So let's start this blog with the first alphabet, 'A'. The word is agent provocateur. Yes it's a two word entry in the dictionary.
agent provocateur /n
a person employed to help in catching suspected criminals by tempting them to act illegally
