wyvern \WYE-vern\ - a mythical animal usually represented as a 2-legged winged creature resembling a dragon
I guess I've seen them on coats of arms or insignia and just thought of them as "dragons."
bootless \BOOT-lus\ - useless, unprofitable
I was only familiar with the other sense of this word. I can't imagine I'll ever use it in this sense.
apophasis \uh-PAH-fuh-sis\ - the raising of an issue by claiming not to mention it
I'm familiar with this word, but generally need some context to remember what it means.
