Time to get back on the horse

Gerrit scolded me when I fell off the O'Bloggins horse. Well, Gerrit, I'm getting back on. I've officially started reading my Princeton Review GRE Prep book, thanks to my Matt, and will update on how that goes, as well. For now let's do a bit of vocab that is in the GRE book rather than the strictly GRE Vocab book.

aberrant - adj. - deviating from the norm

"I would like to claim that many parts of my personality and who I am are aberrant but that in it's self is quite tpical."

approbation - noun - an expression of approval or praise

"My boyfriend showed approbation in a very cryptic way today when he told me I made him happy." :)

canonical - adj. - following or in agreement with accepted, traditional standards

"Marrying a black man would not be a canonical practice in the eyes of my great grandmother who grew up in Nicaragua. She made the most disgusted face when I told her that one day I could end up with one."

chicanery - noun - trickery or subterfuge

"More than one of my uncles practices chicanery by keeping cash hidden and locked away in his home."

disparate - adj. - fundamentally distinct or dissimilar

"Wheels and boxes are disparate."

effrontery - noun - extreme boldness; presumptuousness

"I can't say that I possess an effrontery at all times. Such an effrontery could be used in difficult situtations such as telling dumb bitches off or standing up for what I believe in."

enervate - verb - to weaken; to reduce in vitality

"It's sad to see a man enervated abundantly by a common cold. Oh yeah, maybe because he has AIDS."

ennui - noun - dissatisfaction and restlessness resulting from boredom or apathy

"Do you think Albert Einstein experienced ennui quite often while speaking with common folk?"

erudite - adj. - very learned; scholarly

"Although Will Hunting appeared to be a common South Boston thug, he was quite erudite."

filibuster - noun - "I once learned this word in history or social studies many years ago but I forgot it so let's do it! A group of senators planned to filibuster a measure that would permit the 117th bail out to pass."

Back to learning some cool facts about the GRE!!!
