So I've decided to hit two or three vocabulary words per post and not worry about word count. I kept coming back to one guy for some of these words, so I've decided to write his story and post it here as a serial. And in case anyone wants to read the story in order, here are the links.
1. guillotine
2. shambles
3. el nino
4. nimbus
5. nescient, bromidic, esurient
6. sisyphean, Munich, brummagem
7. costive, atrabilious, linctus
