Word For The Day, Monday 12/29/02 Semester Final
The Verbivores | 12/29/02

Posted on 12/30/2002 12:19:38 AM PST by Bella_Bru

In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “word for the day”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....


Final Exam

As promised, today we will be having the final exam of the semester. Below I have linked 40 past WFTD’s. The exam is simple. You must use 5 of the words, in however many sentences you like, that somehow relate to the news. The minimum is 5, and for using the minimum, you will get an “average” grade of a C. Use more, your grade goes up. Use less, it goes down. Fail to turn in your exam, and I will submit your name to Principal Rob for a “counseling” session.

Here we go:
1. farrago
2. abditive
3. indolent
4. froward
5. ken
6. risible
7. hariolate
8. anhedonia
9. retronym
10. calumny
11.
prepone
12. pedantic
13. incommode
14. paregmenon
15. operose
16. tergiversate
17. qua
18. bilbulous
19. anhedonia
20. brio
21. peripatetic
22. reboant
23. coquette
24. ukase
25. atrabilious
26. dilettante
27. promulgate
28. desuetude
29. salacious
30. munificent

34. atelier
35. insouciant

Heck, there are more trees in my pic than cjs, lol....

Try this one one. (The house is actually slightly to the lower left of the pin; it is showing the upper corner of the property. Not that it matters; you can't see anything but the tall and dense cedar woods... and the lake in the upper left corner)

no, you are God's other end of the earth....

It is prettier here, and a much milder climate... but just like there, it's got a nasty infestation of liberals.
