Aaaarrrrggggh!

I simply cannot find the correct spelling for a word that i'm looking for.

It should be a synonym for courage, but it doesn't show up when i search an online thesaurus. Can someone help me out, please?

Pretty please with sugar on top, even? And a big, red cherry.

Vebrado is the word I need the spelling for, and it's driving me nuts...no other word will quite do.

And I thank you as well. *big * you're right, I should have said false courage.

Well, I'd happily give you the Humanitarian of the Year award simce I'd've driven myself insane trying to think of it, and the word I was stuck on was so damned close that I never would have gotten it right without help.

Sometimes my life feels like one long brain fart.

Sure it's not "vibrato"? Does the hero have a shrill voice?

Just kidding. Mongo beat me to it.

The only logical synaptical jump from here is to "vibrator".

I'm just curious what thaose sound like.

hey TC..you ignoring me too..

 

[RogueLurker]

Hmmm, a sweet, unassuming and koi hero who is full of verbrado .... I'm sharpening my red pencil

Bravado isn't always a good synonym for courage ... it's often used to portray a false or boastful sense of courage.

Context is everything.

Shut up and get back on my dick.

Vebrado, while not a "real" word, is no less great. I really like it. If I were you I would just use it in proper context as bravado and see if it joins the common tongue. I make up my own words and phrases all the time. I don't wonder if people will get it. I know the RIGHT people will get it.

damn you make things difficult...

Vebrado, adj.; an effort to overcome or deny fear with courageous spoken words that miscarries when they are uttered in a tremulous voice that has the unintentional effect of expressing or revealing the fear.

"Fighting back the terror that threatened to turn his knees into jelly, our hero sought to issue a defiant rejoinder to the Inqusitor's sneer, but the words came out instead in a quaking vebrado."

Never, baby. I quit paying attention and went back to writing after my last post on this thread, so I had no clue you were on. *a world's worth of *

Put your pencil away, Roguie darlin'. It's not Joel, but Eric, that I needed the word for. And I'm certain the word is used perfectly in the context it's in. You'll see when we send you part 6. *looks smug*
