Console, and torment.

A

Perhaps you avoid babysitting your baby brother because you’re worried that if he starts to cry, you won’t be able to console him or make him feel better

By repeatedly trying to make someone miserable you torment them. The noun torment is the result of the verb torment.

Put aside. Coincidences. Bid on it, massive, contribution, fault, contingency, disappointed, get on my nerves, self centered, manufacture, insecure, fabulous, crazy, global impact, strong suggest you use it, liquidate-

A

If you plan to walk home if the weather is nice, but bring subway fare just in case, then taking the subway is your contingency plan. A contingency is an event you can’t be sure will happen or not.

Fabulous.

If something is so great you can hardly believe it, it is fabulous. You can have a fabulous first date or you can make a fabulous dinner.

Liquidate

If you liquidate something, you get rid of it. When a huge retailer has to close all of its stores, it liquidates everything, meaning the inventory and even the shelves and display cases are sold to bargain-hunters, to raise money for the company to pay its debts.

Dignity

A

The adjective demeaning describes something that lowers a person’s reputation or dignity. If your boss always asks you to pick up her dry cleaning and get her coffee, you might feel like you usually get the demeaning jobs.

If someone has dignity, it means they are worthy of respect. If you really want the lead role in a play and you try to bribe the director to give it to you, she might say, “Have you no dignity?”

Classist

treating someone unfairly or having negative opinions about them based on their social class (= economic and social position), especially because they are thought to be from a low social class: I found the discussion of street clothes and street culture to be racist and classist.

Discreet describes someone or something that is appropriately quiet, prudent, and restrained. If you are wearing a discreet gray suit, it is unlikely that anyone at that business meeting will notice you.

Often people use discreet not only to indicate modesty or carefulness, but also to show a sort of secretiveness along the lines of “You’re going to keep this a secret, right?” If no one in your family knows that you like to dress up as a bear, but then your cousin finds out, you may ask him to please be discreet.

Mesmerizing

A

ff them, like you are connected by an invisible cord and can’t break free. Those kinds of people have the power to mesmerize, holding your attention like you’re under hypnosis.

The word mesmerize comes from the last name of 18th century German physician Franz Mesmer, who believed that all people and objects are pulled together by a strong magnetic force, later called mesmerism. If you ever start to feel mesmerized, maybe it’s because you find someone fascinating, or maybe you’ve been hypnotized by a magician. Hard to tell from here.

Tidbit

A

delicious. You might have a tidbit to tide you over between lunch and dinner.

If you’re tempted to feed your dog tidbits of your dinner, remember that that’s a good way to turn him into a chubby dog that begs for food. The word tidbit can also mean “a bit of gossipy information,” and you may notice yourself lingering where you can overhear a phone conversation, hoping for a few tidbits. Tidbit, or titbit in the U.K., comes from the dialectical tid, “fond or tender.”

Spare

A

Spare describes something that is extra. If you have a spare tire for your bike you can replace a flat, and if there’s enough change in your pocket you can spare some to patch a friend’s tire.

As a noun, a verb, and an adjective, the word spare has many meanings. A leftover part is a spare, you can spare a life when you save an animal or person, and you have spare time when you finish a project early. If you “spare no expense” you spend lots of money and when you spare a friend’s feelings, you keep upsetting details to yourself. And if you have a moment to spare, you have time to share.
