Extempore

The Word of the Day for November 22 is "extempore."
extempore: (adjective) Spoken, carried out, or composed with little or no preparation or forethought.

Synonyms: ad-lib, extemporaneous, extemporary, impromptu, off-the-cuff, offhand, offhanded, unrehearsed.

Usage: The class performed an extempore skit that condense the complex plot of Shakespeare's Hamlet into a single, 15-minute act.

Relevance to my life: The biggest fight we had started out as a complaint about the division of household labor and ended up with an extempore rant about what I was really like as a person. From cleaning the kitty litter to the defects of my soul? That's quite a tangent.


Sorry, no video clips today. Maybe later if I feel like it.
