			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, here it is! someone has been bugging me about this everytime when i talk about thebensaurus.<br />
Smile, and be ready for Mediocrity!</p>

<p><span class="prondelim">[</span><span class="pron">mee-dee-<span class="boldface">ok</span>-ri-tee</span><span class="prondelim">]</span></p>
<p><span class="prondelim">The-Ben-Saurus usage?</span></p>
<ol>
<li>That girl looks average to me, but you can say she is <strong>mediocrity</strong>.</li>
<li>Stop throwing any <strong>mediocrity</strong>fying comments at me!</li>
</ol>
<p>If i did not know the meaning i would think that Mediocrity is:<br />
 &#8221;Mediopretty&#8221; pretty but not too pretty, average looking but not too average. so mediocrity is a term that mashes both of that together.<br />
Simply meaning. ok ok kinda pretty but in a mash potato form.</p>
<p>The Dictionary Meaning?</p>
<ul>
<li>the state or quality of being mediocre.</li>
<li>mediocre ability or accomplishment.</li>
</ul>
<p>I guess the root word is mediocre. look it up! </p>
<p>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! </p>
<p>which is gonna be &#8220;<strong>Tempered Mental</strong>&#8221; so yeah, stay tune!</p>

My first post on a &#8220;big word&#8221; that has a Latin orgin.</p>
<h2 class="me">vig⋅i⋅lan⋅te</h2>
<p><span class="pronset"><span class="show_spellpr" style="display:inline;"><span class="prondelim">[</span><span class="pron">vij-<span class="ital-inline">uh</span>-<span class="boldface">lan</span>-tee</span><span class="prondelim">]</span></span></span></p>

<ol>
<li><span class="pronset"><span class="show_spellpr" style="display:inline;"><span class="prondelim">Ellie does not like to eat <strong>vigilante.</strong></span></span></span></li>
<li><span class="pronset"><span class="show_spellpr" style="display:inline;"><span class="prondelim">The dish of the day in today&#8217;s menu is <strong>vigilante</strong> soup.</span></span></span></li>
</ol>
<p>The term <em>vigilante</em> has <a class="mw-redirect" title="Latin language" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_language">Latin</a> origins: &#8220;vigilans/vigilantis&#8221;- the present participle of &#8220;vigilare&#8221; (to watch), and stands now for &#8220;watchman&#8221; or &#8220;watcher&#8221;<sup class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vigilante#cite_note-0"><span>[</span>1<span>]</span></a></sup>. Its etymology is closely related to (though its meaning very different from) that of the term <em>vigilance</em>.</p>
<p>Vigilante was thrown at me on a bus trip and hey! who knew it was a word after all!</p>
<p>here is the meaning: any person who takes the law into his or her own hands, as by avenging a crime.</p>

<p>Well, i knew the meaning earlier on, but just thought it was fun to write on this since someone brought it up on the &#8220;Your big Words for me today&#8221; section. Here is the meaning for those that might not know.</p>
<p>meaning: a feeling of dread, anxiety, or anguish.</p></div>

But i&#8217;m gonna use it anyway.</p>
<p>The-Ben-Saurus usage?</p>
<ol>
<li>The smell coming from the garbage  makes me groaks.</li>
</ol>
<p>I think it means: a mixture of Gasp( To draw in the breath sharply, as from shock) and Choking for air.<br />
Thanks for attempting to give me a big word anyway Charlene.</p>
<p>Good job.</p>
<p>-Edit-<br />
Apparently groaking is found in the Urban Dictionary which means:</p>
<p>&#8220;To Watch someone eating in hope they will offer you some food.&#8221;<br />
My bad. but hey! good laugh huh.</p>
