My words today are from : The top most difficult SAT words.
1. Vituperate- To berate(v.) (Jack ran away as soon as his father found out, knowing he would be vituperated for his unseemly behavior.
2. Upbraid- (v.) to criticize or scold severely. (The last thing Lindsay wanted was for Lisa to upbraid her again about the missing rent payment.
Interesting that these are considered the most difficult.
ReplyDeleteThanksfor dropping by and visiting.
Guess what? I knew these! I would feel smart, but since I am pushing 50 years old, I guess I really SHOULD know a little more than high school kids! That was fun; thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteOh goodness. I could probably take any SAT book and find a year's worth of WWW blog posts!
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Is there a salient difference between vituperate and upbraid?
ReplyDeleteI should be able to remember (and pronounce) upbraid!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a new word.
ReplyDeleteJake- Glad you stopped by.
DeleteLibby, Tea- You're welcome!
Satia- You're right.
Sim- good point.
Bermudaonion- I think so.
I know all these words now, but I don't think I wouldn't have in high school either.
