Todays word is "efficacy".

–noun, plural -cies.

capacity for producing a desired result or effect; effectiveness: a remedy of great efficacy.




Try and use this word in one or more posts today to increase your word power.


I hope this thread will show some efficacy in reducing my severe boredom of today.

I think its time to get a real job leezee... ie one that involves the last four years of study, then you will show efficacy in lowering the instances of threads such as this.

The efficacy of posting a word of the day is greatly reduced when you post it at 2:30pm!

They use that word a lot in psych at uni.... I heard it for years without knowing what it meant... I always refused to look it up and eventually worked out what it meant.... their teaching must have been efficacitive  :hehe:

Todays word:

raillery \RAY-luh-ree\, noun:
1. Good-humored banter or teasing.
2. An instance of good-humored teasing; a jest.

I moved from one knot of people to another, surrounded by a kind of envious respect because of Sophie's interest in me, although subjected to a certain mordant raillery from some of this witty company.
-- Peter Brooks, World Elsewhere

Her raillery and mockery are fun -- but ultimately rather tiring, and tiresome.

Thats a pretty good word khem, but I still prefer frottage.

Todays word, due to two misspellings already in the last hour, is:

clique  (klk, klk)
n.
A small exclusive group of friends or associates.
intr.v. cliqued, cliqu·ing, cliques Informal
To form, associate in, or act as a clique.

[French, from Old French, latch or from obsolete French cliquer, to click, clink, of imitative origin.]
cliquey, cliquy, cliquish adj.
cliquish·ly adv.
cliquish·ness n.


Cliquey. Not "clicky".

as·sume      /əˈsum/ [uh-soom], -sumed, -sum·ing.
1.   to take for granted or without proof; suppose; postulate; posit: to assume that everyone wants peace.

To assume something, makes an ASS of U and ME.

Crapulent

({sm}kræpju{lm}l{schwa}nt)  [ad. L. cr{amac}pulent-us very much intoxicated, f. cr{amac}pula: see above, and cf. vinolentus, violentus.]

    1. Of or pertaining to crapulence; suffering from excessive drinking, eating, etc.

    2. Given to gross intemperance.




NB: The spell check on this system does not consider 'crapulent' a word. Oxford disagrees with this.
