Parlous and then Word #7
One point each for putting yourselves out there with that impossible word. Parlous means perilous - a contraction of the word, apparently. Also bold or mischievous, but I think less commonly. I have seen it in essays by people like the erudite George Will.

I have heard this one before, but I can't seem to put my finger on what context it was in. I HAD TO ASK!!
Anachronism - something out-dated.
The word radical is like such an anachronism.
*note, I should only get 1/2 of a point. Before I asked, I thought it might mean something like a contradictory statement.

Wait, so Tammy you asked? So we're for sure it means outdated?
Ok then I'll go for sentence.
The horse and buggy is an anachronism - though still a charming historical fragment.

Yeah, I asked, and I am thinking that is not a good idea. I like knowing that someone might not know. What do you think?

Or ask and not tell. Much like a military policy.
