Q: What is the BIGGEST word you've seen used in a book lately - that made you stop and look it up? Might as well leave the definition & book too.

I'm reading Les Miserables by Victor Hugo and he uses a lot of interesting words. Recently, I had to look up the word mendacious. It means: telling lies, especially habitually; dishonest; false; untruthful, etc.
What word have YOU had to look up lately?
I have tried several times to read that book. I can never make it thru the first 100 pages. Great choice for this week's question.

Yeah it's kind of challenging, but I'm liking the story. Thanks for stopping by. I liked your FF too! :D
DeleteI haven't read that one, but that's a word I've never heard before! Hopefully those aren't too frequent in the book! Hope you have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteHere's my FF!
LOL. No, it's not too bad. Thanks for stopping by. I liked your post too! :D
DeleteMendacious... that's a great word! I'll have to use that in a sentence 3 times tomorrow so I'll remember it! I rarely look up words even if I'm unsure about them, I generally just read the rest of the sentence, paragraph, etc and assume that what I think it means is right. lol I'm a new follower.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Followed you back. Happy Friday! :D
DeleteI remember reading Les Miserables. The book was actually pretty good, even though it's a classic. ;) I'm a new follower from FF!
ReplyDeleteBe sure to follow me back at http://bookaholicfaggots.blogspot.com. Thanks!
Thanks Cindy! Followed you back! Have a great weekend! :D
DeleteInteresting. I had no idea! Slang is what I typically have to look up. lol Sad, I know.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.

It's not just you. I'm seeing lots of answers involving slang. Thanks for stopping by! :D
Deleteold follower and I love mendacious....describes some folks I love but are flawed by that. Lol...the word that just recently got me was obsequious which I am learning to spell tonight! See more on my blog post at bethartfromtheheart.blogspot.com!

Thanks! Have a great Friday!
DeleteClassic literature is always good for big words, especially those that have fallen out of favour over the years.
ReplyDeleteNew follower - thanks for stopping by. Bob @ Beauty in Ruins
Agreed! Thanks for following, Bob! :D
DeleteI guess you are reading a translation (unless you can read French?) So I wonder about the big words the translator chooses to use? Are you going to watch the movie?
ReplyDeleteFollowing you.

I hope to read Les Miserables soon, I imagine I'll be needing a dictionary then! I'd try it in French but mine is too basic for the Classics!
ReplyDeleteNew Follower, thanks for stopping by my blog!
I don't remember that word being in my translation...lol!
ReplyDeleteOld Follower who didn't have time to do a F&F this week...lol!
Wow, I'm lerning all kinds of new words this week, lol! I also read that book, but it's been a while ago, lol, and had to look it up too. New follower by GFC. :)
