Vocab Quiz

"bagnio"-whorehouse (you'll need to know it later)
"monadic"-singular entity; metaphysical individual life
"occluded"-blocked out
"chiliastic"-millennial (my personal favorite)
"liminal"-situated at the threshold
"peripatetic"-itinerant, wandering

Those are this week's Scholarly Journal All-Stars. You can play, too, by publishing an unnecessarily verbose piece in any academic journal. If you can top "chiliastic" you're very, very good. For a total loser. Word games are one thing; George Will, however, is an asshole. Don't be like him, kids.
