The Graduate Fucking Records Examination: Who Gives a Shit?

If you've ever taken (or studied for) the GRE, you know that the vocab section is fucking ridiculous -- normal people do not use the words stalwart, bacchanalian, or sepulchral in everyday sentences.

But if you want to take the GRE and come out alive, without having your bare ass flogged verbal-section-style, you need to be a little unconventional.

This blog is to help us either
a) ace the difficult words slotted for the GRE or
b) sound like pretentious assholes to our peers

Throughout the day, use the word of the day (taken from GREword.com) in a sentence at least once, and then update it on this blog. In no time, we'll all be erudite logophiles.
