Week 8 SAT Words February 6 th -10 th

fabricate v.: to invent fancifully or falsely. The boys were notorious for fabricating elaborate lies to try and get out of the SAT quizzes. “I’m too smart for this” was a classic.

felonious, adj: wicked, villainous This felonious pack of teenage girls roams the halls in search of tiny, helpless victims to, as they call it, “garbage-ize.” They are vicious and to be avoided at all costs.

gregarious adj.: enjoying the company of others, tending to be cheerful and loud This particular class is remarkably gregarious. They don’t enjoy working alone, and when given the chance to group work, things can quickly get loud and chaotic. (How does Makayla always end up at the top of a tower of people?)

henpeck v.: to worry or harass by ill temper and petty annoyances The henpecked husband had learned that the easiest way to avoid a fight with his wife was so simply say “yes, dear” to whatever his wife requested.

ignoble adj.: low in character or purpose The ignoble knight came to the queen to beg for a pardon after being accused of shameless cheating in a card game. The queen rightfully assumed he was fabricating the story, and turned him down by screaming “Off with his head!”

impeccable adj.: blameless The boys claimed to have impeccable behavior when they were practicing their sword fight. How then, you might ask, did Austin end up dying on the floor?

incessant adj.: unceasing In later years, Makayla would lay the blame for the incessant abuse she received on her ugly sweater.

knavery adj.: deceitfulness in dealing After buying the teenage girl for the excellent price of just $5 (discount), the salesperson proved his knavery by trying to steal her back.

malefactor n.: one who injures another The group of young malefactors was brutal whenever they found a hapless victim. (The hooded kids were particularly incessant in their abuse.)

oust v.: to eject When Jesse ate the last donut, the boys had finally had enough and forcibly ousted him from the room. (This thrilled the other Jessie, who had always resented the presence of someone he called “That OTHER Jesse.”)
