Word of the day...game.

[Godson]

So I am always looking for new words to expand my vocabulary and knowledge.

What I am thinking is that only one word per day may be posted. This can be a common word or not, hateful or nice, or just weird. The idea is to expand my vocabulary without using the dictionary one word a day stuff. I want people to try to expand their thoughts while using a new word. I hope this makes sense.

So the rules are going to be simple.

One word a day total. We can go off of greenwich time for simplistic sake. 0000 Greenwich a new word may be posted
Please provide the definition.
and if you are feeling froggy, a sentence in which it is used in.


First word of the thread thanks to Hamilton's recent attitude on track, and Fiat500:

petulance
the quality of being childishly sulky or bad-tempered.
The petulance shown by him is not doing anyone any favors.



Thoughts and opinions?

[sandydandy]

I like that word.

[George]

I'm too petulant to offer a reply about today's word.

[Godson]

I'm too petulant to offer a reply about today's word.

Good idea. Perhaps we should see how many ways we can use the word of the day to really challenge ourselves.

[thesameguy]

Petulant child is petulant?

This is a salubrious thread indeed, but why truncate oneself to only one companionless lexeme per diurnal course?

If we could, perchance, include a veritable agglomeration of said offerings, it would be assuredly, positively, unquestionably, emphatically, firmly and indubitably brobdingnagian.

[Godson]

Sure, why not.


Only condition is that you can't go on Dennis Miller mode for writing a sentence...at first.

[thesameguy]

If it wasn't for the hebetudinous masses, I would probably be unemployed.
