overheard a man checking out at the grocery store say he was "transfixed by the cakes" in the bakery section. i feel like that's a word i don't hear often and it made me laugh. sort of a powerful word to me and definitely better than "the cakes looked so good"... what are other kind of similar words..? what powerful words should we be using more...? or maybe this is a normal word you like to use on the regular and i'm easily amused!!
