Haimish

Despite the extreme amount of clutter in the home, or perhaps because of it, there was something haimish about the rooms. Dustin didn't feel like a stranger.

Betide

Don't ever venture over to the old worn down cabin on the edge of town. Bad things betide the soul who sets foot on that haunted ground.

Demiurge

Sean John can be deemed a veritable demiurge of shark taming. There was no man before him who ever was able to leap into the ocean unadorned and emerge from the depths grasping the shark's fin like a steering wheel.

Chrestomathy

Hidden behind a false wall, guarded by a sealed steel door, down a treacherous old staircase, separated by a tiny tunnel, sits the bunker room with 42 identical safes, each with its own unique combination. To access the secret chrestomathy of the ancient guardians, you must be guided. The papers that are sealed within that safe could lead to a whole new era.

Belabor

If I've said it once, I've said it a hundred times: Sean-John was the first and only true shark tamer that this world has ever seen. I don't mean to belabor the point, but I must adamantly state that any other individuals claiming to be shark tamers are simply masquerading themselves. Sean-John is the one true shark tamer.

Gambit

Timothy wasn't going to entertain any coy conversations this evening. He approached the woman with a direct gambit: "You are looking extremely attractive this evening"

Phatic

Even though Richard and I don't get along very well, I try to bring him along anytime I meet a new client. His gregarious nature and ability to cultivate phatic conversation help to break the ice.

Pip

The lumbering hulk plowed through the crowd, directed straight for us. His trunk-like arms swatted bodies with ease. He stopped just in front of us, angled his neck down, glared at Ted.... And let out the silliest pip of a voice. Ted laughed.

omphalos

It has been said that any worldly activity relating to the practice of shark taming can trace its origins back to Sean John. This charismatic pioneer and Renaissance man truly is the omphalos of shark taming.

spruik

One by one the students spoke up - asking questions, tossing in comments, mentioning anecdotes, spitting out anything germane to the class topic. They did all that they could to delay, but success was not achieved. Mrs. Green began to spruik again.

intromit

The sweat poured out of that pastor's face so fierce it seemed to be leaking, a condensation representation of the passion spewing from his being. I pitied the man who dared intromit the devil around Pastor Paul- Lord alone knew how hellish that encounter would turn out to be.

Sibilant

The sibilant sound slipped inside the steel security system, scaring sleepy Steve somewhere amidst sands of slumber.

Obtest

The little boy lays down the fork and knife, exhaling an exhausted sigh. Staring forlornly at the green veggies remaining on his plate he obtests to all around him to please free him of this gargantuan task of eating every last bite of his broccoli.

Besot

The island princess moved the room. She guided the sun from beneath the clouds, she tamed wild animals, she kept the oceans tides at bay, and it was because of her beauty that the vengeful Stalawakakoa spared the planet earth. and as her radiance warmed the room and besot every man within eyesight, Sean John believed it all.

Numen

The fulcrum of the cavernous hall was the shrine. The room flowed with Incense candles of a rare scent, tapestry banners ornately hung, intricate lighting fixtures slanting soft light rays, elegant hand written dedications... Even if this shrine were no numen, there was something holy going on here.

Kowtow

Even though Sean John is a major international figure and influential person, he is a modest man. Never does he expect kowtowing from those around him.
