Chrette and Word Play #11

6 demerits for me for not confirming the meaning of a word before submitting it. I was led to believe charette meant a chat. Turns out it is a highly specialized word having to do with planning an architectural project. At least it involves having a meeting and presumably a chat!

New word: atavistic

    Uuuh, a good view? Seeing everything around you?

    Their backyard butted up to a cliff, revealing an atavistic view.

    I'm late! But I have no clue anyways! I am going to say that atavistic means extremely focused.

    Tammy's atavistic studying habits usually result in excellent grades.
