Numerous

The list has grown too long. The emails have expanded past page one. It's time to learn some new words.

Vilify - to speak ill of someone
  • When the cheating husband and stealing wife met in court, they vilified one another in hopes of garnering more money from the other.
Affable - pleasantly easy to approach and to talk to
  • The judge presiding over their case was an affable man and vehemently disliked their foul and inappropriate behavior.
Vituperation - sustained and bitter railing and condemnation
  • After hours of the unhappy couples' vituperations, the judge banged his gavel and ordered, "Silence in the Courtroom!"
Anecdote - a short account of an incident or event of an amusing nature, usually biographical
  • Years later, the now remarried and happy couple told anecdotes of their divorce proceedings and laughed merrily.
Four down, infinity to go...it will never end!
