FF_2012

Feature & Follow is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee’s View and Alison Can Read. It’s purpose is to gain and meet new friends and followers. I’ve definitely met some new ones and found really beautiful blogs! Smile

This week’s question is:

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.

What a great timing! The other day, I came across this new word that I’ve never read before and I did look it up (thank God for online dictionaries!) but unfortunately, I cannot remember which book it was from.

The word is internecine, which is an adjective that means “(of conflict) within a group or organization”, according to my beloved WordWeb dictionary, or “Characterized by bloodshed and carnage for both sides”.

I feel bad I cannot share the book though! But it really made me stop and look it up because it’s the first time I read such a word.

Ciao Smile

    Hi, I'm a new follower through GFC =)
    I've quite honestly never heard that word (and also read it wrong the first time...)

    Hopping through. I've seen that word before but don't think I fully knew the meaning.
