Aaand the Definitions Are…
- Alacrity: eager and enthusiastic willingness
- Hackneyed: rendered trite or commonplace by frequent usage
- Specious: seeming true, but actually being fallacious; misleadingly attractive; plausible but false
- Garrulous: given to much talking, tediously chatty
- Trenchant: sharply perceptive; keen; penetrating
- Obfuscate: to deliberately obscure; to make confusing
Clearly, I need to start studying the dictionary and quit relying on Google to do the work for me 🙂
See! I missed the dictionary definition for 2 of them and only got the contextual usage. sigh…
That's still better than how I did. I can't say I'd even heard the word trenchant before, lol.
Oh good! Was right on all of them, although I don't think I could have explained the meaning of any of them so precisely.
Uhh, me too Juliana:)
Holy crap, I'm stupid.
I didn't even know those words existed let alone know how to define them. Crud. I need to yank out a dictionary now and again and spruce up my vocabulary.
