Wow. These are great words! I love these words, I wish I used them more often. I have to admit, I will freak out if my third grader casually drops placid, sublime, or interpose in a sentence.

‘bellicose’ is one of those words that I’m not convinced lives outside of Philippa Gregory novels. If a third-grader ever ‘bellicosed’ me, I think I’d choke on my spleen.

Ooo…the ol’ spleen choke eh? Don’t do that! I do like the way bellicose sounds though.
