Copious

Roommate 1: "Last night Jeff drank copious amounts of alcohol."
Roommate 2: "Yeah, he was crazy! Did you see him puking in the bathroom?"
Roommate 1: "Haha... I know, Jeff shouldn't have drank so much"

Insurgent

The Iraqi insurgency is composed of a diverse mix of militias, foreign fighters, all-Iraqi units or mixtures using violent measures against the United States-led multinational force in Iraq in Iraq and the post-2003 Iraqi government, or by propaganda or money supportive thereof. The fighting appears both as armed conflict with the United States-led military coalition, as well as sectarian violence among the different ethnic groups within the population. The insurgents are involved in asymmetric warfare and a war of attrition against the US-supported Iraqi government and US forces, while conducting coercive tactics against rivals or other militias.

My example: The American Revolution was fought by insurgent colonists against the British Redcoats.

Trepidation

So, anyone out there having any trepidation about finals coming up?

Debilitate

Title of an article I had to read for class:

New concept of critical steps in course of chronic debilitating neurologic disease in evaluation of therapeutic response; a longitudinal study of multiple sclerosis by quantitative evaluation of neurologic involvement and disability.


The above study focused on the debilitating disease of MS, specifically the breaking down or weakening of neurological abilities a person had and the effects of different kinds of therapy that have been found to help a person with this disability.
