Today's words

glabrous /GLAY-brus/ - smooth; especially : having a surface without hairs or projections
This applies to increasingly more of my scalp. I was familiar with this word, but have always mispronounced it.
holus-bolus /hoh-lus-BOH-lus/ -  all at once
I don't think I had a real sense of this word from the definition. The examples helped a lot.
shilly-shally /SHILL-ee-'shall-ee/ -  in an irresolute, undecided, or hesitating manner
Would have probably gotten this one in context. Maybe?
