I have decided to post these because I am sort of a wordy kind of person, and I was going through my computer files and came across my word lists from last year. Those of you who were in our SAT prep class know what I mean. Every two weeks we had to submit a list of twenty words, with setences and definitions, that we found in a book from our list of classics. These are some of my favorites.
1-Verisimilitude: The appearance of being true.
2- Cosh: a short club, or the act of hitting with a short club (doesn’t it sound innocent if you cosh your little brother, rather than hit him with a baseball bat?) Another great word with the same meaning is truncheon.
3- Grappa: a sort of Italian brandy.
4- Frowsy: junky, messy, or shabby. Amaze your parents by using a vocabulary word to describe your room.
And my personal favorite:
5- Farinaceous: having a grainy or mealy texture. For some reason this one stuck in my head. It comes from Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, one of my favorite books.
Frowsy is my personal fave!
