Word Woman


Welcome to another mind-bending installment of Word Woman's Weekly Work-Out! Don't let the summer heat melt your brain -- chill out those synapses by learning a cool new word! Here's the Word of the Week to get you started:

Vitriolic: [adjective] (of speech or criticism) caustic or hostile -- "The Oxford American Dictionary and Language Guide", Oxford University Press, New York, 1999.

Example: Brian's vitriolic responses to customers' tech support questions resulted in his unexpected transfer to the maintenance department.
