Word Woman



Welcome to another exciting installment of Word Woman's Weekly Work-Out! It's June at last, and officially time to get started with your summer reading. I hope that you've picked out a few good books to help turn your summer into an adventure in reading. Here's the Word of the Week, for those who are interested in being adventurous with their vocabulary:



Vituperative:


1. Uttering or giving censure


2. Containing or characterized by verbal abuse


"vituperative", http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/vituperative?show=0&t=1305055598 , 5/19/2011.


Example: Because of the vituperative quality of his comments at the rehearsal dinner, Brad was excused from his duties as best man at the wedding.
