Word Woman

Welcome to another fun-filled episode of Word Woman's Weekly Work-Out! What can I say? It's almost May already! It hardly seems possible that this year is going by so quickly. And the last Word of the Week for April is:

Truculent: 1. feeling or displaying ferocity : cruel, savage 2. deadly, destructive 3. scathingly harsh : vitriolic 4. aggressively self-assertive : belligerent

-- "Truculent", http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/truculent , 4/6/11.

Example: The truculent behavior of Tina's outdoor cat was of great concern to the neighbors who owned small dogs.
