Week 10 SAT Words

Jargon (n.) - language term particulary specified in a subject
Jargon sounds like dragon. However, since I am not a hardcore nerd and LOTR fan, I may not know the different types of dragon names and perhaps, one named Jargon. Part Jar part gon?

Come at me SAT!!!!!!

Jeopardy (n.) - hazard, danger, risk
I know this word since the day that I played JEOPARDY! But what if I cannot remember? I would be in big trouble and one point will be taken off the quiz.

Jubilation (n.) - a feeling of great happiness or triumph
This word reminds me of the word juvenile, which means children. Although children are sometimes sad, most times, they are carefree individuals and they do not have such pressure put upon them. In other words, they are happy.


Judicious (adj.) - having to do with judges and being judged upon
The word judge can be found in the word judicious, so it has involovement with judges, pertaining law.

Jurisdiction (n.) - the power or authority one has over another involving the law
Jurisdiction also has the word judge in it (I can see it, don't ask), and diction usually refers to the state of having something (at least that's what I think), so Jurisdiction means the judge has something from you.

Kibosh (n.) - nonsense, stop from happening or developing
What kind of word is kibosh? Who uses this? The English word makers need to stop making these random and unusable words.

Why did they stop this program?!?!?!

Laconic (adj.) - using few words to express
It's either lack of "onic" (and somehow onic means words) or if someone is lactose intolerant, and drinks milk, with very few words, they should storm to the bathroom.

Languish (v.) - to become or get weak, feeble through grief
Languish has the word anguish in it, meaning suffering pain.

Largesse (n.) - generous gifts, in large quantities
Largesse has the word large in it and gesse reminds me of the word generous. Generous greatly.

Lethargy (n.) - state of feeling drowsy and lazy, dull and inactive
Lethargy seems like a misspelled leathery which is the kind of textile you would sleep on a car, especially my dad's, because it is super comfy.
