retromingent
 

Look this word up in a dictionary and tell me does it even make sense??? :confused:


For those of you that will try to use it, this word wasn't found at www.webster.com.

It doesn't make much sense, but I found a definition in my Random House Webster's College Dictionary.

One time, Ben Bradlee, the newspaper editor, described one of his critics as a "retromingent vigilante" or something like that.

It doesn't make much sense. Ben Bradlee is pretty funny if he called someone a "retromingent vigilante." LOL

I'd like to see that vigilante... on second thought, maybe not.

Yes!!! I get the word of the day and I was soo confused! How do you pee backward? Do you actually suck pee up into your body? Walk backwards while peeing?

FuzzieAlum, a friend of mine told me about the word today, something about "the word of the day." Where do y'all get it from?

Retromingent was the word of the day here: http://www.wordsmith.org/awad/ . (Shameless plug, the guy who runs it is another CWRU graduate.) Dictionary.com also has a word of the day. In both cases they send out a (week)daily email with a word, definition and maybe examples.

Cool, cool. Thanks Fuzzie.
