Word of the Day:


After discovering that list of 100 words everyone should know...and then realizing hardly anyone knows any of them. I decided to assist in educating all you ignorant slobs. No need to thank me, I just like to help.


Word #1: Abjure [ab-JUR]


Definition: To recant solemnly; To renounce under oath.


Origin: Middle English abjuren, from Old French abjurer
-Latin abiūrāre [ ab - away, iūrāre - to swear]


Use: For nearly 21 years after his resignation as Prime Minister in 1963, he abjured all titles, preferring to remain just plain ‘Mr.’


Webdings Font: Abjure
