AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Salutations! Forgive my intrusion upon your midday pleasantries, but I wished to introduce a new topic of discussion: Each day, I shall present to you a new vocabulary word in order to improve your wordy repertoire. In addition, I shall provide definitions, proper usage, and synonyms for your leisurely perusal. Use your newfound diction to impress your coworkers, romance an attractive young man or lady, and just sound more intelligent altogether. We'll start at the beginning of the alphabet and work our way towards the end.


Today's word is....

Adduce: Verb-to offer as an example, reason, or proof in discussion or analysis

Example: Jeremy adduced Dr. Philbert's article about the benefits and potential health risks of vaccination in his counterargument against Cynthia's claim that the procedure causes autism in young children.

Use in place of: present, cite, show


That's all for today, but I would urge you to look up any word you come across that you don't know the meaning of. You might just find something worthwhile, and most certainly gain a better understanding of the conversation!

Let's move on to the next letter of the alphabet, shall we? Today's word is....

Boodle: Noun-a large amount, especially of cheddar

Example: Tom's boodle saved up from his job allowed his wife and him to retire comfortably.

Use in place of: a lot, much, many, gobs, bunches

I'll adduce your boodle

I wish you would, bby~

Why don't we choose a more practical word today, something slightly more common, but you may not know the meaning of.

Today's word is....

Clemency: Noun-disposition to be merciful and especially to moderate the severity of punishment due

Example: The defendant wished strongly for clemency from the judge after his automobile accident sent him to court.

Use in place of: mercy, charity, pity
