Yippee! It's a word of the week thingamajiger! I know that quite a few people here on Divvy are trying to enlarge their already large vocabulary, so I've decided to help out a bit. I'll be scouring through dictionaries and thesauruses and all that dandy stuff to find some very colorful, advanced words for everyone to use. This week we have a very nice one:

Word of the Week #1 - July 23-30, 05
Word: Refulgent
Pronunciation: rih-FUL-juhnt
Kind of Word: adjective
Definition: shining brightly; radiant; brilliant; resplendent
Examples: 1)The little girl's smile was as refulgent and heartwarming as the sun. 2)Even though it was small, the nightlight was refulgent and helped everyone sleep.

EDIT:
The word refulgent comes from a latin participle, refulgere.

Todays word of the Day

I was bored and so i looked up "word of the day" in google last night... And this is what i came up with.

And refulgent is a very good word.

I think it's weird that both of us knew that refulgent was the "word of the something-or-other".

xD I looked it up before, and it turns out some other site used it as a word of the day almost ten years ago. o.0
It is a good word.

The next chance i get i'm going to use refulgent.

Word: Floccinaucinihilipilification.

Part of Speech: Noun

Definition: An act or instance of judging something to be worthless or trivial.

Please, someone, anyone, use this word in a quest xD. You'll be forever in the "Zan Thinks You're Awesome" club.

Yes, sir!

HERE!

*gives him "Zan Thinks You're Awesome" badge.*

Ohhhhh, shiney.

I'll use that the next time Sekai has a run in with that NPC I use, "DarkFlash", probably use it to describe him or even more likely call him it.

*stares intently at said shiny object*

Floccinaucinihilipilification.

Where the hell did oyu learn a word like that from?! I'm not even sure I could pronounce that while keeping a Jim Carry moment inside. I tried and failed multitudes of time at ...cinihilipili...

Hey! I actually used Reflugent today! Regarding my characters eyes. Spiffy aye?

I hope you don't mind that I add a word of the... week or day? Who cares <_<
