Ok Folks...I'm gonna start one. Let's all try to learn a new word and/or educate our fellow SOT members.

My word is... abstemious \ab-STEE-mee-uhs

Meaning
1. Sparing in eating and drinking; temperate; abstinent.
2. Sparingly used or consumed; used with temperance or moderation.
3. Marked by or spent in abstinence.

Now the next person must use my word in a sentence and leave their own word (and definition) for the next poster to use.

Last word used in a sentence:
I should be more abstemious, but with my diet as it is, I like to overdo on junk too often.

Next word: pukka (PUHK-uh)

Meaning:
1. Authentic; genuine.
2. Good of its kind; first-class.

Now the next person must use my word in a sentence and leave their own word (and definition) for the next poster to use.

Okay last word in a sentence:

Nyanza was attempting to become pukka during her stay in the Starting Over house.

Next word: eschew \es-CHOO

Now the next person must use my word in a sentence and leave their own word (and definition) for the next poster to use.

Re:SOT Dictionary 2 Years, 8 Months ago Karma: 0  
last word in sentence:
The emotionally hurt woman described the miscreant to a sketch artist in hope she could recover her stolen dog. (I hope I did that right. )

Next word: dactylogram; meaning fingerprint

This is a good game, very educational. Its a shame when good games are back in the vaults. I'm gonna take a look at some of the older games.
