While these people may be famous, their fame is definitely not derived from the great vocabulary that they exhibit. I am proud to say that the children I babysat for and I both have a better vocabulary than all thirteen of these people:
1. Antoine Dodson
This fine young man was made famous a few years back when he was featured on the local news talking about an intruder in his home. I wonder what career Antoine has since pursued? My guess would be lexicographer.

2. Paula Deen
Paula Deen is a celebrity chef with multiple cooking shows on the Food Network. She is one lucky lady.

3. Sarah Palin
Not trying to be political here, but I do believe that Sarah Palin’s vocabulary includes nonexistent words.

4. Snooki
If you do not know who Snooki is then good for you. However, if you are among the unfortunate ones who do know of Snooki, then you will agree that she is no Einstein, or even a remotely smart person.

5. Britney Spears
Britney uses her awesome vocabulary to give some great and realistic advice.

6. Mike Tyson
Mike Tyson is a well known boxer. To be fair, it is hard to tell exactly what he is saying in some of these clips; however, from what we can hear, he is not the sharpest tool in the shed. Maybe he could better express himself if he used words.

7. Honey Boo Boo’s mother
This entire Honey Boo Boo family consists of geniuses, but the mother takes the cake. Her vocabulary consists of little more than the word cheese balls.

8. Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton’s vocabulary seems to fail her in this interview. I believe the word she is looking for is “four.” Apparently, this word is not in her vocabulary.

9. Teresa Guidice
Teresa Guidice is one of the housewives on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. As you can see in this video, she supports a made-up vocabulary.

10. Miss Teen South Carolina 2007
While competing for Miss Teen USA in 2007, Miss South Carolina shows off her IQ level and wide range of vocabulary.

11. George Bush
Again, not trying to be political, but I can not deny our old President’s wonderful way with the words.

12. 2 Chainz
2 Chainz is a famous rapper. His song “Birthday” is one of his biggest hits. Take a listen and then let me know if you would care to enter into a bet that the vocabulary of my late cat is on par with mister Chainz.

13. Ryan Lochte
Ryan is a great American Olympic swimmer. He has five gold medals and just slightly more than five words in his vocabulary. He is the best looking idiot in the world.
