Word bombs

Now that WINKIE is done for the time being, I am also turning my attention to the GRE. This is the only pre-grad school standardized test I have left to take, methinks. LSAT knocked me on my *ss during senior fall of college, due in small part to my falling asleep during the test and due in large part to my having absolutely no interest in actually going to law school. Later on, I knocked GMAT on its *ss in Summer 2007, fueled in large part by desperation to find a path to freedom and away from Corporate Slavery. And there's no way in this lifetime I'll even contemplate taking the MCAT.

The reason why I bring this up is because, as you know, the most challenging aspect of the GRE is the verbal section. To facilitate our collective learning processes, I will be unloading random vocabulary-boosting word bombs in future posts. Some may even be monosyllabic. For instance:

cadge: v. to beg, or to get by begging

Who would have known? Not me, that's for sure.

Okay, lights out for real this time.
