Ubiquitous- adj. existing or being everywhere. I found this word while reading for AP Bio. "One of the carrier proteins in the electron transport chain, cytoshrome c, is so ubiquitous among living organisms that the approximately 100-amino-acid sequence of the protein is often compared amongspecies to assess genetic relatedness" (CliffsAP 47). (Brittany C.) Mull is a verb meaning to think about carefully or to consider. It can also be used to mean to make a mess or failure of. I heard this word in a band rehearsal. After being asked a question, the conductor responded by saying, “Let me mull over that idea and I will get back to you next week.” (Erin G.)

[|Precarious] Adjective; Describes something that is "sketchy" or "shady" in nature. My friend Patrick always uses this word in our conversations. I like this word cause its better than saying plain ol' "tricky". The precarious silhouette creepily stalked us on our walk home. (Sage F.)

[|Flabbergast]-verb; to overcome with surprise and bewilderment; astound. I found this word while looking up vocab words and I think it is really fun to say so I picked it. "I was flabbergasted when I went outside and saw a white limo instead of the black #|SUV I was expecting." (Meggan D.)

Sapid adjective; meaning flavorful or having flavor. I found this while being cool. "The well-seasoned roast was sapid, and was one of her favorite meals ever." (Lindsey B)

Borborygmus is a noun that means the rumbling of the stomach. I found this while Google searching "funny words". "The room was overcome with sounds of borborygmi from my stomach since I hadn't eaten that day." (Lucy L.)

[|Delate] is a verb and it means to report something. I found this on dictionary.com. Some journalist delate a sports game play by play. (Brian C).

[|devout] adjective meaning devotion or service. Can also mean sincere or earnest. I found it while reading "A Prayer for Owen Meany" for English. "His little face reflected his devout curiosity and his extreme anxiety,"(Irving 119). I liked the way it sounded and everytime I say it I feel like I have to have a russian accent. (Karly D.)

[|Ichthyophagous] adjective meaning feeding on fish. Found it looking up weird words on google. (Josh L.)

[|Lagniappe] Noun meaning a small gratuity or tip. My mom showed me this word as she was reading a Mark Twain story because she thought it was weird. I decided to give the woman a large Lagniappe for being such a conveniently available waitress when we needed her. (Sam L)
