Word of the Day
vilipensive (adj)
Abusive.
"[T]ime was when even Rhedycina's learned bowers
resounded to strains not simply laudative of Oporto,
but vituperative and vilipensive of Bourdeaux."
--Sir Morgan O'Doherty
Try accusing someone of being "vilipensive of Bourdeaux" today. Make them scurry for the dictionary!
