It's been an interesting couple of days BR with the Debate "Society".

But I certainly have made good use of Dictionary.com while reading.
:)

And in that spirit (of higher learning) I thought it would be fun to have a test of your LWP Debate Society and Boxing Ring (No Gloves) verbiage.

I have devised a list of some few "common" but mostly unusual words and phrases to test your knowledge. As part of the test, try to ascribe the word to the person who initiates usage and see how well you do!

Some of the words (Such as poltroon, wee, and pomposity) are easy to identify with the poster...But I've thrown in an arcane references or two like "fervid" to really test your word/poster/association skills...

Here they are in no particular order...Have Fun & Good Luck!!!

(BTW, This list is in no way "comprehensive" merely reflective of what struck my fancy and.......I would like to thank all the participants for adding to the expansiveness of my vocabulary!)
