ex·u·ber·ant / iɡˈzo͞ob(ə)rənt, eɡˈzo͞ob(ə)rənt / adjective = filled with or characterized by a lively energy and excitement. Example: "The exuberant crowds welcomed him."
ex·or·bi·tant / iɡˈzôrbətnt, eɡˈzôrbətnt / adjective = unreasonably high (when speaking of a price or amount charged). Example: "I didn't go to that concert because of the exorbitant price of tickets."
(You may wonder why I'm featuring these words together. I recently overheard someone say to another person at her table, "And the cost was not exuberant." I knew what she meant, and probably her listener did, too. But it made me smile and gave me a couple of words to share on the blog today.)
