Vocabulary Words

   A lot of the time as we read we tend to just skip over those words that make us think "what in the world does that mean?"  Lets make this the place where we list those words.  If someone else knows what it means then please add a comment telling us what you think it means.
   It would be helpful if you told us all what page this word was on.

EXAMPLE:
-humble p. 5

  2. Humble (adj.) - modest, simple, the antonym of magnificent or grand. It is good to be somewhat humble because it means you are not selfish or a prima donna, prima donnas are so vulgar and repulsive!

  37. A really advanced vocabulary word is be "antidisestablishmentarianism" which is an entity or person against the destruction of the government or ruling organization/union. It really surprises me how much more useful in most sentences our vocabulary words in class are and this one is a super-advanced-and-long vocabulary word.

  38. guys i found the word "parson" in the book and i dont remember what page it was on but it was in a line of dialogue. i think it might be some old fashioned word that they used to use. i looked it up and it said:

    "1.
    a member of the clergy, esp. a Protestant minister; pastor; rector.
    2.
    the holder or incumbent of a parochial benefice, esp. an Anglican. "
