So, here's where I admit that my vocabulary is, apparently, not what I thought it was. In studying for the GREs, I've come across a number of words that I didn't know, such as (don't worry, I know them now):
euphonious
nadir
moiety
pusillanimous
chimerical
torpor
And I learned another one today that I should've known: hematoma. Now, I knew it was some condition that had to do with blood, that it was a thing that you got when something went wrong, but actually never knew exactly what it was. Now I know: it's when you go to give blood and they mess up and make your arm hurt A LOT.
Now you know, too.

pusillanimous - from the latin for "unknown cat" or the more vulgar version "one night stand in a dark room" or the gay version AKA "glory hole"?
