I have a state required writing prompt tomorrow and I need to get at least a 10/12 to be in the advanced language arts class in 9th grade. I've been getting 8s and 9s, so I think expanding my vocabulary with a game would be beneficial. So, everyone posts a word in this format:

Word:
Part of Speech:
Definition:
Sentence:

My word is bushwack 😋

Word: Bushwack
Part of Speech: Verb
Definition: To assault somebody unexpectedly
Sentence: I bushwacked the hikers as they passed the tree I was hiding behind.

To make this a game, I'll use the point values from Scrabble and for every word you post, you'll get a certain amount of points 😊 It would help if you posted the # of points you get, but you don't have to. And ONE WORD PER POST!

Leaderboards:
38 points @zafeyry (vigilant)
23 points @monkeymoo993
8 points @dv55555
6 points @hayz
