Well, here it is! someone has been bugging me about this everytime when i talk about thebensaurus.
Smile, and be ready for Mediocrity!

me⋅di⋅oc⋅ri⋅ty

[mee-dee-ok-ri-tee]

The-Ben-Saurus usage?

1. That girl looks average to me, but you can say she is mediocrity.
2. Stop throwing any mediocrityfying comments at me!

If i did not know the meaning i would think that Mediocrity is:
 ”Mediopretty” pretty but not too pretty, average looking but not too average. so mediocrity is a term that mashes both of that together.
Simply meaning. ok ok kinda pretty but in a mash potato form.

The Dictionary Meaning?

• the state or quality of being mediocre.
• mediocre ability or accomplishment.

I guess the root word is mediocre. look it up! 

Sorry, kinda been busy lately. and this is best of what i can come up for Mediocrity. but hey! stay tune for the next bensaurus post! 

which is gonna be “Tempered Mental” so yeah, stay tune!

Vigilante

It has a Latin orgins! how awesome is that!
My first post on a “big word” that has a Latin orgin.

The-Ben-Saurus Usage?

1. Ellie does not like to eat vigilante.
2. The dish of the day in today’s menu is vigilante soup.

The term vigilante has Latin origins: “vigilans/vigilantis”- the present participle of “vigilare” (to watch), and stands now for “watchman” or “watcher”^[1]. Its etymology is closely related to (though its meaning very different from) that of the term vigilance.

Vigilante was thrown at me on a bus trip and hey! who knew it was a word after all!

here is the meaning: any person who takes the law into his or her own hands, as by avenging a crime.

Exquisite

[ik-skwiz-it, ek-skwi-zit]

The-Ben-Saurus usage?

1. You can’t fit the books into that box! so stop exquisit-ing it in!
2. Nah~ i can’t exquisite into that pants cause i’m just too fat!

This was thrown at me about a week ago, credits to a friend of mine who came out with it.

to be honest, when i said exquisite out loud, it sounded like EX-SQUEEZE-IT. thus the whole “Exquisiting it in!”
Well, have a great day ahead!

Don’t forget to keep throwing me your big word of the day for me!
