Word of the Day

This word was discovered whilst reading Lolita (yes the slightly pervy novel with graphic fantasies)and it is...

Paroxysm:

1. A sudden outburst of emotion or action

2. A sudden attack, recurrence, or intensification of a disease.

3. A spasm or fit; a convulsion.

Sentence example: Talia broke into a paroxysm of laughter at the idea of Jessica playing hockey
