I just had an idea. For all you brainiacs out there jk, I'm going to start a definition contest. Rules: You can't use a dictionary. Post the answers here. The winner will get to pick the next two words to be defined. Pm me the definitions please. 1.nevertheless: 2.audacity: 3.Ghastly: 4.Decorum: Good luck By the way definitions don't have to be exact.

Righto then!
1.nevertheless: 'but anyway' or 'even though this was known'. Never the less, Frodo was determined to destroy the ring. He wasn't less couragous, he was more, because even though he had heard what will happen, Frodo, never the less, decided to continue with his quest. Oh dear, I hope i'm making sense...
2.audacity: The gut, the gall, the cheek, the nerve. "He had the audacity to drop the turkey on my head, even though he'd been punished severely for it once before!
3.Ghastly: pale, ghostly, white. 'She looked so ghastly that her maid knew something was wrong'.
4.Decorum: Decoration, design. 'The decorum of the room was quite simple, nothing but a few chairs, a table and a small little bed...."
I've confoosled myself now...hehee, i haven't really thought about most of the words on here until now!

1. Nevertheless: Yet, In spite of, but still. Adverb The game was canceled but Bill had fun nevertheless.2. Audacity: Courage, gut, the strength to. Noun Mike had the audacity to critisize his teacher in class.3. Ghastly: Horrifying, gross, ugly. Adjective She was attacked by a ghastly creature.4. Decorum: Appropriate decoration, the design or mannerisms of something. Noun Her mother was always impressed by home decorum.I'm not certain about these... but I thought I'd give it a shot. What have I got to loose but my intelligent reputation?

1) Nevertheless: Ignoring the previous statements, the statement still stands. 2) audacity: bravery, brashness, often to the point of utter insanity. 3) ghastly: horrifyingly disturbing, often inducing weird feelings in the stomach akin to nausea and a wrinkling of the nose 4) decorum: adornment as a whole, decorations thought of as a singular object.
