I learned a new word while reading Les Miserables last night. The word is “objurgate,” and it means to scold or rebuke.
I don’t know that I really have to say all that much about this. It’s obviously a phenomenal word, and I hope I am granted frequent opportunities to include it in my vocabulary. Perhaps I will invoke it during one of my verbose remonstrations of a sports team that is disappointing me.
Yay words! English is fun.
