Time once again to stretch our Vocabulary muscles. Below you will find five words, with the definitions posted below to help spark ideas. The only rule to this exercise is that you need to use all five words in a single piece of writing. Today’s words are less obscure because often finding new ways to use familiar words is harder than slipping in a five syllable mouthful. Get creative with it. Bend the definitions or even snap them if you want. But have fun with it and as always, happy writing.
