Thread: Word of the Day

  1. #1

    Moogle Word of the Day

    Past words
    Cavort: [kuh-vawrt]
    verb (used without object)
    1. to prance or caper about.
    2. to behave in a high-spirited, festive manner; make merry.


    tra⋅duce [truh-doos, -dyoos]
    –verb (used with object), -duced, -duc⋅ing.
    to speak maliciously and falsely of; slander; defame: to traduce someone's character.


    pre⋅di⋅lec⋅tion [pred-l-ek-shuhn, preed-]
    a tendency to think favorably of something in particular; partiality; preference: a predilection for Bach.



    So dictionary.com has a word of the day. I will post said word of the day here and all of us try to use it in a post somewhere. You can link to the post and we'll see how great you are (feel free to use everywhere).

    This is not a game and there are no points. It's just to increase vocabulary, hopefully. Soon you won't need a thesaurus for Eyes on Each Other to make yourself look smart. You'll just naturally seem smart! I'll edit this post every day with the new one!

    Word of the day:

    a⋅mel⋅io⋅rate [uh-meel-yuh-reyt, uh-mee-lee-uh-]

    –verb (used with object), verb (used without object), -rat⋅ed, -rat⋅ing.
    to make or become better, more bearable, or more satisfactory; improve; meliorate.


    Go use it~

    I only have 2 more hours of today, and I have nobody to talk to. I will never complete this word of the day usage!

    Just go to the Final Fantasy IX forum and say you prefer Quina because he/she cavorts all day or something! You prefer happy characters, you see. I believe in you, Shauna. There's surely somewhere it can be squeezed in without being spam. Or, I dunno, go to Evastio's thread and say you saw a member look-alike and you cavorted all day afterward.

    I’ve been getting the word of the day emailed to me every day for the past 3 years. There was a time when I tried to weave the word of the day into posts here, but general lameness by the people made me quit.

    I used it somewhere in here! Also Kyle, you should probably put the new word in a new post when you update so everyone notices the update.

    As per Rantzien's Molly Weasley demand, I'll put it here first.


    predilection
    \preh-d'l-EK-shun; pree-\ , noun:
    1. A predisposition to choose or like; an established preference: A predilection for Bach.


    Now I will watch as nobody uses it Except Quin, who hopefully says he has a predilection for my mom.

    I already did mine!

    Damn! I've become predictable!

    EDIT: Use it in a post? Pah! I'll use it for a thread!
