I love learning new words that I'll probably never use in my daily vocabulary so let's find some fun words and use them in a sentence.

meretricious

adj 1: like or relating to a prostitute; "meretricious relationships" 2: tastelessly showy; "a flash car"; "a flashy ring"; "garish colors"; "a gaudy costume"; "loud sport shirts"; "a meretricious yet stylish book"; "tawdry ornaments" [syn: brassy, cheap, flash, flashy, garish, gaudy, gimcrack, loud, tacky, tatty, tawdry, trashy] 3: based on pretense; deceptively pleasing; "the gilded and perfumed but inwardly rotten nobility"; "meretricious praise"; "a meretricious argument" [syn: gilded, specious]


Come on, I triple dog dare you!!!

Though her too tight halter top, neon pink short shorts and thigh high boots were meretricious, I still wanted to ask her opinion on the economy.

I picture the culmination of all things meretricious would be vella's sense of fashion.

His meretricious flattery was derisory, downright wonky, but I fucked him anyway.

Wow! I'm not going to try to use meretricious in a sentence. But I have learned a great deal from the word. I thought it meant having good food value. "Corn flakes is the heart of a meretricious breakfast!"

Okay, okay, okay.

Somebody PLEASE shoot in amongst 'em. It don't matter which one you hit. We gotta get some relief from that meretricious caterwauling. :)

The entire carnival was almost overwhelming in it's meretriciousness, no part more so than the barker at his podium and yet, I had a profound craving to suck him off right here.
 
Her personality was meretricious: She possessed all the fluff and sticky-sweetness of cotton candy, but absolutely no substance whatsoever.


(3: based on pretense; deceptively pleasing)
 
He presented such a meretricious argument that I didn't bother to answer.

If I had seen the word used, I might have thought it meant "worthy of praise", like meritorious.
 
Her skin-tight, low-cut wedding outfit showed both her asscrack and a serious cameltoe. Chinese Master fingernails painted whore red shimmered as she ran them through her teased mullet. Nervously biting her lower lip, she managed a brief smile for the photographer as he continued to capture this meretricious affair.

It was hell being the mother of the bride.

I have a hunch the vast majority of readers would do the same thing. That's why, IMHO, it's a good word to avoid using.

I hate words like that. You can't use 'ambivalent' anymore, cause people will just take it as meaning apathetical.

Do not hate the words, ruggerman. It's people who abuse them, or horrors! discard them for lack of means. That is how a language might die over time. Courage,
