GRE Prep

For those of you who think you are smart (or are considering taking the GRE sometime), head over to Katrina's blog for her new weekly vocabulary quiz.

As a doctoral student at Ohio State, she comes across many obscure and annoying words. She's posting five or so to her blog each week and soliciting guesses as to what they mean. I only know three of this week's seven for sure.

Feel free to play, but no cheating!

I'm not even going to attempt those...
Actually just wanted to know if you guys are taking in the OSU-Michigan excitement?

I knew fungible and zeitgeist, but not well enough I'd use either in normal conversation. Fungible because it had come up as a concept in programming at some point, and zeitgeist because it has German roots.

I can thank Google for knowing zeitgeist. Google zeitgeist is actually an intersting read:
