Revellian’s Expressive linguistics 101:Philology and psycho-linguistically descriptive dialectology
This week I introduce a fresh batch of cool words to add to your vocabulary, unless of course you already know these and use them regularly in your everyday posts!
- avarice
- indefatigable
- extravasate
- raucous
- tenebrous
- Avarice- An excessive desire of gain, greediness after wealth, covetousness, cupidity.
example: The store owner displayed a disgusting avariciousness when asking his employees to donate $100.00 to his birthday fund!
- indefatigable- Incapable of being fatigued, not readily exhausted, untiring
example: The woman looked to her friends after listening to their sob stories of sexual dissatisfaction and said, “I never have that problem. I know some of you asked about my walking with a limp and I tell you, it’s not from injury but from my husbands carnal indefatigableness!
- extravasate- to force out, to pass into surrounding tissue
example: Like a torturous hernia splitting an abdominal wall I was extravasated from the party. I thought I was on the invited list!
- raucous- Unpleasantly loud and harsh
example: The woman sported a wicked scowl after hearing the man scream at the children. She said in a most raucous tone, “They are deaf you disgusting ruffian!”
- tenebrous- shut off from the light, dark, murky, hard to understand, causing gloom
example: After four hours of the tenebrous literature seminar on using new words effectively, I was ready to extravasate myself from the room before I let off a raucous scream!
I like to use words in ways that seem out of place but add that special explosive quality needed for expressiveness.
example: I was engulfed in a scorching inferno of nuclear despisement when failing to make a timely comment on my girlfriends new hairstyle.
Next time be sure to immediately notice as you may be burned at the stake. I actually had a girl dump me years ago because of this exact situation.
