A word that's often misspelled by illiterates as "extrovert" and often misused by ignorant people to mean "outgoing" or "people person", but actually means someone who is energized by being around people. Compare this to an introvert (also frequently misused by ignoramuses to mean someone who's "shy", "anti-social", or "awkward"), which is someone who is energized by being alone.

Dude...that's not what the word means. And it's extravert.
