alameda \al-uh-MEE-duh\ - a public promenade bordered with trees
Now I know why Alameda Boulevard is called that.
muliebrity \myoo-lee-EB-ruh-tee\ - femininity
Counterpart to virility, which is much more broadly known (supporting the lament that our culture is too male-dominated).
canker \KANK-er\ - 1. to become infested with erosive or spreading sores 2. to corrupt the spirit of 3. to become corrupted
Was familiar with the noun form, but not the verb.
One or two entries until I'm caught up . . .
