Test Your Vocab

I guess "bronze age" wasn't on there.

I got bored halfway through the second page and stopped.  Bleh.

Or 'stat'

I have better things to do then try to join the Internet Mensa club.  Like stare blankly at a wall, or lance carbuncles on my ass.

That first page is pretty fucking useless.  A five year old's grasp of English can probably be assumed.

I didn't know the last 3 on the 1st page.

Ok, amended to "most of."  There were a couple of page 1 I didn't know either, but I meant the majority of the words were roughly the same level as "couch" or "car."

[Martinus]

I didn't know the last 3 on the 1st page.

From the first page, I didn't only know what "prig" is. I have never seen the word "uxorcide" before but figured out it's like "fratricide" or "patricide" only that you are ciding your uxor and not your frater or pater.

Some of the words you pick up from silly stuff, like roleplaying games (for example "legerdemain" ).

Disappointingly low.

A lot of them are quite easy for a francophone, since they are essentially French words wholly imported (bruit, embonpoint) or latin words (regnant). It is with the colloquialisms, or old words, that I had some problems.

[Ideologue]

Was it just me, or was there a dearth of scientific and other technical terms?  No "boson" or "replevin."

I have a job so I've all the time in the world.

[DGuller]

Dude, it is a test meant to be used by five-year-olds as well as law school graduates. Having a range of words allows for this.

It is?  I thought it was for adults.

From the test:

Works for everyone, from small children (with parental help) to college professors!
