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

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).

impetuous

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

irreverent

there is no irrerevent to this thread

inhibition

My cat was a cause of inhibition today as she sat in the way of the door.....

Omnious

There was an ominous silence throughout the house as I went to get a glass of water earlier.

Radiance.

The radiance of her smile always brightened the room.

laborious

Sometimes having to feign interest in people's lives can be a laborious task.


Quixotic

ohhh, had to google that one lol :

He was popular with the ladies due to his quixotic charm.

somnambulist

He blamed his waking up in the garden on the fact that he was a somnambulist.

I like this thread! It's great.

Yesterday I had to clean up the aeolian dust that had accumulated by the window. (this word should have been in the above post :nono:)

sanguine

My mood ahead of the ferrett convention is ferry sanguine.

Tnetennba.

The tnetennba attracted a thousand extra visitors to the website per day.

Coriacerous

Coriacerous is a very silly word.


Circumbilivagination

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


vacillate

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

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.
