Word of the Day

Here is another word, still from the first chapter of The Great Gatsby. Don't you all feel super intellectual?

Today's Word:

Extemporise

To improvise, whether it be with speech, music or just general life.

Sentence example: Annie felt she had to extemporise in her audition as she had forgotten to learn her monologue.

*DISCLAIMER: We at T.E.R. do not recommend following Annie's example. It's scary and makes you shake a lot.*

  1. I didn't realise that word was specifically from The Great Gatsby, but it is one which I utilise woefully often in essays where I haven't a clue what I'm talking about...
