Define

I don't like to be caught using words I don't know for certain. I don't mind talking casually, but when I put anything down on paper, I like to be at least mostly correct. So I use the define: function on google a lot. The last four:

plebeian
schlub
pervasive
languid

We've done a major reboot recently, so I don't have a more complete list, but others I know I've checked include:

mise en place
dystopic
shearwater
lieu
feiseanna
amicable
croque monsieur
plantar fasciitis
anagnorisis
bogan
inordinate
maird
in media res
petard
sandwich board
en masse
sotto voce
reconnaissance
benighted
patina
decimated

Some are just to check the spelling in case Blogger has it wrong, but often it's to make sure I don't use the word in a not quite correct way. I would hate to embarrass myself...
