<p>Let’s make this thread work!</p>
<p>Okay, so a person is going to post a word and someone has to define it and say how they remember it–either a common phrase, or some other device.</p>
<p>Then the person who answers must post another SAT level word that’s teh next letter in the alphabet.</p>
<p>I’ll Start with A</p>
<p>Aspersion</p>
<p>Acrimony- bitterness or harshness because acrid means bitter</p>
<p>Aspersion - slandering someone
Don’t aspersion me fool (yeah, I can’t think of a good example, lol)</p>
<p>Booboisie</p>
<p>Lol, mash–are you talking about bourgeoisie?</p>
<p>In which case, the lower class, I believe.</p>
<p>Curt.</p>
<p>dupe- an easily tricked person</p>
<p>Only dopes are duped (haahahahahah)</p>
<p>wait sorry that dosent make sense
…a dope is a dupe</p>
<p>is that better?</p>
<p>well you can be a dupe. or you can BE duped. its a noun and verb.</p>
<p>Zachsta,</p>
<p>Booboisie is the term used to describe the gullible / ignorant class.</p>
<p>Okay, new word. Read the rules guys, you need to add a word after you define and give a way to remember it.</p>
<p>capricious</p>
<p>always having mood swings! It has the same rhythm as “bipolar.” </p>
<p>olfactory</p>
<p>lol, no, i really meant booboisie. check it at dictionary.com, haha</p>
<p>In any case, aspersion is a noun, and you’ve used it as a verb.</p>
<p>olfactory=having to do with the sense of smell.</p>
<p>pedantic</p>
<p>carries a teacher-like intent. meaning to preach…</p>
<p>quixotic</p>
<p>pendantic: too concered with abiding with formality</p>
<p>grandiloquent</p>
<p>grandiloquent - pompous / bombastic / verbose in speech, also lofty</p>
<p>hegemonic</p>
<p>quixotic : idealistic without regards to reality</p>
<p>grandiloquent: arrogant in its extravangance; doesn’t it usually pertain to words? I dunno…</p>
<p>erudite</p>
<p>erudite - well educated or learned.</p>
<p>delegitimization</p>
<p>delegitimization: process of being invalidated (delegitimize = invalidate/make less credible)</p>
<p>hegemonic: derived from hegemony (its good to know relationships!), which would be like domination/unilateral control. political term. like, “We should seek to curb the hegemonic foreign policy of the US”. </p>
<p>I think you should use word in sentence as well. clarifies noun/adj/etc. and that’s how I ‘know’ words, through sentences/phrases (easiest way to learn vocab)</p>
<p>ohhh, edit: word is delineation</p>
<p>delineation: a description of something like a plan (right?) in either words, art, or a diagram
The author gave a short delineation of each character in her book. </p>
<p>ruminate</p>
<p>ruminate: ponder or meditate on something

<p>sententious</p>
