Manic

The performers had a manic energy and enthusiasm.  Rejections cannot dent me easily.  Though the brothers are bulky, they are browbeaten by their nagging sister.  Once the cows reach maturity, they are sent to the abattoir.  I found her in her boudoir. 

Portentous

All those successes in the early part of his career seemed portentous.  Use whole cloves in a pickling mix for spicy pickles.  That subject is tangential to our discussion, and we cannot let it distract us.  I like to keep my house shipshape.  The prison service had its own permanent doctors, assisted by ancillary staff. 

Uterus

One of the women had her uterus removed after treatment for cervical cancer.  He cannot perform sexually without being sloshed.  The water in his bottle sloshed back and forth as he ran.  They slashed at him with their swords, but managed to nick one of his fingers.  She tacked a poster on the wall. 

Matador

The bull was killed by another matador.  Once at the zoo, birds were accommodated in a large extensively planted aviary.  Beneath the forest were puddles of what looked like pink semolina.  The dress fits her well, but the pattern is rather garish.  She was born rather large and ungainly, and her parents found her a nuisance. 

Regnant

In the regnant silence she rose, laid aside her book, opened the door, and stepped softly into the narrow passage.  The results were satisfactory in the class in which obnubilation and drowsiness were major manifestations.  We waited for the wind to abate.  In that case, my argument would be otiose.  He does not live in a very salubrious part of town. 

A Fortiori

The proposition is incomprehensible to us and a fortiori we cannot be justified in believing it.  The carpenter did a sloppy job of building the staircase.  He had a splenetic outburst against his boss.  Christopher Columbus's stumbling upon the Caribbean while searching for a new route to India was adventitious.  The fulcrum of the problem rests on that issue. 

Susurrus

The soft susurrus and sighs of the branches lull him to sleep.  Hebrew numeration always includes the day which is the terminus a quo.  The people saw the politicians prevaricate everyday.  The child has drawn an arborescence.  He has developed a range of beauty products containing 3% kombucha. 

Enervate

After being laid off three times in a row, she felt too enervated to look for another job.  Ryan's tardiness to work that morning was extenuated by the fact that his first meeting of the day was cancelled.  He showed a scandalous tardiness in carrying this thing out.  He chuckled immoderately and pressed his cowlick down.  Her physical examination showed a tachycardia of 114. 

Distention

The ureter was catheterized so that pressure could be used for its distention.  The patient's urine is catheterized through a pipe.  The film thrills with its indelible, oneiric imagery.  The lady enters into the party in a slinky manner.  She has spindly legs. 

Imprecation

Horrified, Patience muttered an imprecation and rapidly did it up.  I can't do up my shirt - one button is missing.  This stream is a tributary of the Ohio river.  He remains the unelected potentate of a draconian theocratic dictatorship.  He always goes gaga over his favourite band's newest album. 

Swanky

We stayed in a swanky hotel.  When things look black, there is always a silver lining.  "My stomach hurts" is a perception, but "I might throw up" is an apperception.  The narrative view of selfhood has a further purpose to connect ipseity with alterity.  A visitor described their appearance as cadaverous and said that they all looked in poor health. 

Scintillate

The chief's eyes scintillate with anger.  A religious vision may undergird the ethic that we seek.  We are much closer to our Victorian forebears than we might imagine.  Sceptical fideism offered a way of saving both faith and reason.  Research is a recursive procedure - we have to return to the same concepts again and again. 

Polysemous

The word 'head' is polysemous because it can refer to both the organ and a leader.  Friendship is viewed as the sine qua non in a relationship.  In addition to the iodide, some of the fatty base had osmosed to the membrane in each case.  He must have been incandescent when he was in government.  I thought the idea was that you would make scintillating conversation.
