Vocabulatrix

Sit up straight when your schoolmarm walks into the classroom. Today’s word is erumpent. Can anyone tell me what erumpent means? No? Well, what if Schoolmarm were to tell you that it describes what’s going on right now, not only all around you, but in your own bodies, specifically in your gonads (noun, an organ in animals that produces gametes, especially a testis or ovary)?

Erumpent: adjective, bursting forth.

What could be more delicious and vernal and useful than that? Usually Schoolmarm favors dark, brooding words: morbidity, corpse, wretched, hellfire, etc. But she is all over the implied green nodes of erumpent.

Note that today’s lesson exists to enable you to understand the word. Because “I’m already using it.” So back the fuck off. Cause if the same bullshit overexposure that happened with “suppurate” happens with “erumpent,” Schoolmarm won’t be too choosy about whose knuckles get in the way of her wooden ruler.
