That's Preposterous!

Today's Word:

preposterous: (adjective) ridiculous [pruh-pa-stir-us]

This is one of the words on the vocabulary list for my students this week. I used it an awful lot last Friday as I was letting my boss know how inane I thought it was to have midterms come out after only three weeks. Luckily, she has a good sense of humor, and found my use of large words endearing... or at least, she pretended to. The good news is we were able to push back the midterm deadline to next week!

See what using polysyllabic words can do for you!?

Okay, so that word was definitely preposterous!
