Cull

If the message didn't get delivered to the undersea lab 2 minutes, the entire island nation would be sunk. Sean John motioned to his school of sharks, and didn't hesitate to cull the fastest among them. He called for Nathan.

Hellion

Harrison was the one shark that Sean John could not tame + a frantic hellion that wouldn't respond the same way as any other shark.

Aleatory

Do you realize the string of aleatory events that occur when you give a mouse and cookie? Then he'll want a glass of milk, then he's gonna ask for a mirror to check his milk mustache, etc...

Gander

Even though he promised not to look, and he turned around to face the opposite direction, the urge to steal a gander at the beautiful lady changing clothes across the room was too great.
There was a mirror in the wall she hadn't noticed. He shuffled to the left. He got a niiiice view.

Quoin

Jeffy liked to spend time outside the city walls. He would bring scrolls to read and learn his theorems, sitting against the quoin on the corner of the wall, as far from the gate as possible.

Decamp

2 grueling weeks on the run wear down our wits. Days ,we try to mask our eyes and calm our nerves enough to sleep. Nights ,we pack up and hastily decamp.

Verisimilitude

The couple shouted at each other across the restaurant table. Despite their high volume and weighted words, their interaction felt insincere. It lacked verisimilitude. It felt staged, almost.

I wondered who they were trying to fool with their faux fight antics.

Quell

The doctor explained to him that these pills would end his nightmares. His unconscious morbid nocturnal thoughts were common byproducts of a hurried and stressed lifestyle, the natural cerebral venting of life's irritations.

Davis just hoped he could quell the madness brewing within.

Ingress

Please grant me ingress into the paradisial palace where you spend your days.

Machinate

The two exiled twins live in the far reaches of the desert. They live for revenge, and each day they machinate together, looking towards the day that their perverted version of justice is enacted.

Plethoric

It was a low and sneaky tactic that the Frey family pulled, staging an attack in the middle of a wedding celebration. Crowds of plethoric revelers, filled with booze and delights, could only sluggishly react to the incoming enemy soldiers.

Demimonde

Trashcans overflowed, lining the narrow streets of this crowded, dingy urban residential area. Candidate Pachowski cursed as his brand new shoes landed in a pile of unidentifiable brown muck. It wasn't going to be easy, but he needed the votes from the demimonde if he wanted to win this election.

Idiolect

Steven could always tell when his son had been hanging around the mall too much. He was would start to pick up the idiolect of the vacant suburban teenage types. His vocabulary dropped 20 percent.

Ingratiate

Leaping through the flames, he began to question his vow to stop at nothing to ingratiate himself into the good graces of Lady Miranda.

Splenetic

The boy's grandfather mostly sat in a rocker, pleasantly moving to and fro. When the arthritis kicked in, though, the old man took a more splenetic disposition. His rocking would cease and his face would scowl. It was known to not approach grandfather then.
