Okay so I just went through another 100 SAT vocab words in addition to the hundred I did yesterday. I have 200 more to go…but that’s for tomorrow. Here are the ones I particularly like (because they sound cool mostly):
1. anomaly- a deviation from the norm
2. recalcitrant- stubborn
3. clandestine- secretive
4. anachronism- not in the proper time period
5. platitudinous- commonplace (LOL really, such an unnecessarily long word for such a simple meaning)
6. ubiquitous- widespread
7. mercurial- fickle; constantly changing moods
8. bucolic- charmingly rural (sounds like brolic + a type of bacteria)
9. sycophant- a servile person
10. chimerical- a fantastic scheme; unchecked imagination
11. maudlin- excessively sentimental (I like this one because of the word origin…comes from Mary of Magdalene who wept for Jesus)
12. quixotic- foolishly impractical (also like the origin…Don Quixote :D)
13. picayune- something small and trifling
14. zenith- highest point
15. mellifluous- smooth and sweet-flowing
16. acrimonious- caustic, bitter
