Word #14

How was that an insult? I was informed by a highly qualified advisor that atavistic is too technical a term (although I do believe it is used more broadly than that).

10 points to Hope, notwithstanding the stage-whispered editorial aside, for two correct answers and sentences. 5 points to Tammy for great sentences.

Word #14: trope

    YAY! A word that was on the MAT! Trope is using a word in a non-literal sense - sort of like a metaphor.

    I propose tonight honey, that we paint the town red!

    The trope of troubadores traipsed through the forest singing songs and dancing.

    I think this one goes to Tammy.
