      Work on your Vocabulary!

      I thought it would be fun to make a vocabulary game!

      I will say a little know word, and the definition. Then, You post one right after me!


      Masticate!

      –verb (used with object), verb (used without object), -cat·ed, -cat·ing.
      1. to chew.
      2. to reduce to a pulp by crushing or kneading, as rubber.
      Bollocks.

      Doesn't it seem rather redundant to have to provide the definition for every little-known word?

      Redundant


      excess: more than is needed, desired, or required; "trying to lose excess weight"; "found some extra change lying on the dresser"; "yet another book on heraldry might be thought redundant"; "skills made redundant by technological advance"; "sleeping in the spare room"; "supernumerary ...
      pleonastic: repetition of same sense in different words; "`a true fact' and `a free gift' are pleonastic expressions"; "the phrase `a beginner who has just started' is tautological"; "at the risk of being redundant I return to my original proposition"- J.B.Conant

      Well, If you think most people know the definition of a little know word, then it isn't little known!

      If you don't want too, you don't have to post the definition.
      Bollocks.
