~Truculent~

Ok, without using a dictionary or any other on-line tool, how many of you know how to say this word? How many of you know what it means?
Oh the things one learns when one helps with homework in highschool.
I will be anxious to see who knows.

*Here is the word used in a sentence...

His truculent criticism of her work caused her to lash out at him.

And the answer is:

truc⋅u⋅lent:  

truhk-yuh-luhnt - adjective
1.
fierce; cruel; savagely brutal.
2.
brutally harsh; vitriolic; scathing: his truculent criticism of her work.
3.
aggressively hostile; belligerent.


Thanks for playing! Maybe we could start the word of the day blog courtesy of A Beka Book ;-)

Can you use it in a sentence please? :)

My guess is that is means "harsh" Please tell me that you will eventually tell us what it means? Or do I have to work and look it up for myself? :)

visiting via invitation from grape news. i did know how to pronounce the word, but wasn't exactly sure what it meant. i do like the thought of a word of the week :) and maybe we could be required to use the word of the week in our blog posts. (how bored am i???)
