January Word Work Sorry Wrong # Vocab

Hey, you know that thing when someone does something wrong but it's not so bad that you can't forgive them? What's that called again?

• Is it when you grab someone; like arresting them?

• Or is it when someone just barges in where they're not wanted, like an uninvited guest?

• Oh wait, is it when something is forgivable; like it's not a big deal?

• Or is it when you just can't stand something, like a strong dislike?

So, picture this. We're in the middle of a top-secret town meeting, planning our next big event, when out of the blue, this stranger just pops in. Now, what would we call this unexpected guest?

• An interloper (an intruder)

• A person who's a bit shaky on the security front; unpredictable

• A person with a voice that could shatter glass

• Not a townsperson

Alright, darling, in the world of Stars Hollow, if I were to say 'demeanor', what would you think I'm referring to?

• Someone being rude and disrespectful?

• Oh, you mean how someone conducts themselves?

• Is it about finding out where a phone call is coming from using some fancy electronic equipment?

• Or, is it about being involved in some conflict or argument?

A footballer found himself in a predicament. What does predicament mean in this context?

• a difficult, unpleasant, or embarrassing situation

• able to be forgiven; excusable

• high-pitched and piercing

• a person made weak or disabled by illness or injury

The quarterback is in a precarious situation while playing against the rival team.

• The quarterback is involved in conflict or argument with the rival team.

• The quarterback is a plant native to Australia designed to withstand very dry periods.

• The quarterback is in a dangerous, risky situation; lacking in security or stability; uncertain.

• The quarterback is inclined to nausea; easily shocked or upset.

Picture this, Lorelai and Luke are stuck on Mars, of all places. They stumble upon this weird looking plant, totally alien to them. Luke, being the outdoorsy guy, recognizes it as 'eucalyptus'. So, what's eucalyptus, anyway?

• It's a phrase you'd use when you really can't stand something

• It's a term for someone who butts in where they're not wanted, a real party crasher

• It's when you're breathing like you've just run a marathon without any training

• It's a plant from Down Under, built to survive even the driest of summers.

Messi and Ronaldo are embroiled in a disagreement over the new FIFA regulations.

• They are able to be forgiven; their disagreement is excusable

• They are involved in conflict or argument

• They have a strong dislike for each other

• They are showing a particular behavior; manner of conducting themselves

Picture this, Lorelai and Rory are chatting over their daily coffee at Luke's Diner. If Rory's voice comes off as 'shrill' over the noise of the diner, how would you describe it?

• It's like she's talking through a bad phone line

• It's as clear as a bell, no doubt about it

• Lorelai can't stand the sound of it

• It's as high-pitched and piercing as a fire alarm

When a football coach explicitly states his game plan, it means he is:

• producing results without waste

• fully and clearly expressed

• fake

• strong dislike

So, picture this. Spiderman, our friendly neighborhood hero from New York, is all about this thing called 'civic duty'. Can you tell me what that's all about?

• Is it about tracing a phone call with some fancy electronic gadgets?

• Or maybe it's about finding the origin of a phone call using high-tech stuff?

• Could it be the belief that citizens should do their part for their country?

• Or is it about someone barging in where they're not wanted, like an uninvited guest?
