A favorite discovery over the last year is A Word a Day, a service that drops a vocabulary word in my in-box each morning. This week's words are those that describe people, and the first four are:
operose: 1. tedious, diligent, 2. requiring great effort
reprobate: noun: a wicked person, verb: to disapprove or condemn
renitent: resistant; recalcitrant
pinguid: fat; greasy; unctuous
Oh, pinguid is a perfectly dreadful word, isn't it?
