Upgrade your Vocabulary: pose a word and the next poster must use it somehow

[Liberty4eva]

This is a thread for people who know or would like to learn good vocabulary words. God knows I need to improve my vocabulary. :joker:

There is only one rule to this thread: if someone above you poses a vocabulary word you must find a way to use it in your post. If you want to pose a word, put the word at the very bottom of your post (like my word below).

Was this thread at all impetuous? :tongue: or have you planned it :o

During my long circumbilivagination of the globe I seen many wondrous creatures, including a one legged albino hippopotamus.


You did? That's amazing (if true) but I often can't tell how serious you are because in your posts you vacillate between being silly and... er... being even sillier. :p

histrionics

[Corkie]

Williams's platform manner when accepting his medal is perhaps rather too histrionic.

self-flagellation

The words in this thread are often very difficult and make me want to perform self-flagellation.
