1. nosology<\/strong> \u2014 classification of disease<\/p>\n

Psychiatric <\/em>nosology frequently ignores the cultural determinants of so-called mental illnesses.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. fulminate<\/strong> \u2014 to flash like lightning; to explode; to thunder forth condemnation(s); to inveigh violently<\/p>\n

Though the board has <\/em>fulminated numberless edicts, motions, and denunciations against the developer, the situation remains exactly as it was one year ago.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. peach<\/strong> \u2014 to inform against; to divulge<\/p>\n

We stayed out of the ambit of Veronica James as much as possible, as she was known as a narc, having <\/em>peached her parents to the cops for growing marijuana in their garage.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. inconscient<\/strong> \u2014 unconscious<\/p>\n

Try as you might to appeal to their reason, this mob is under the sway of <\/em>inconscient passions and forces that cannot be negated by logic.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. facetious<\/strong> \u2014 waggish, not meant to be taken seriously; humorous<\/p>\n

I was on the very verge of calling my banker when I realized that Tomas was being merely <\/em>facetious in making his ill-advised remarks about a run on the Central Bibb Trust & Bank.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. ebrious<\/strong> \u2014 intoxicated; addicted to drink; of or related to intoxication<\/p>\n

I certainly hope that these words were penned about me by some <\/em>ebrious cad for I’m damned if I’ll allow a sober person to call me such names.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. micturate<\/strong> \u2014 to urinate<\/p>\n

The unrepentant miscreant was discovered <\/em>micturating upon the very slippers that had sent him packing to the back yard only the day before.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8. harrow<\/strong> \u2014 to break up (as with a harrow); to crush, tear, lacerate; to despoil<\/p>\n

He protested that he only wished me well, but Jeremy had so <\/em>harrowed my deepest feelings in our previous encounter that I shied away from any more of his supposedly helpful verbal depredations.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9. fecund<\/strong> \u2014 capable of giving birth or of producing fruit; fruitful, prolific<\/p>\n

Perhaps the story of my mistakes may provide <\/em>fecund material from which true creative works may arise, just as delicious mushrooms may sprout forth from the most feculent manure.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10. excurrent<\/strong> \u2014 exiting, running out<\/p>\n

Fighting against the <\/em>excurrent high schoolers bursting their bonds on this the last day of school, the maudlin detective meditated as best he could in the noise and shoving upon the vicissitudes of life and just what percentage of these quondam students would come under his purview.<\/em><\/p>\n
