Athena Mentor has an unequivocal predilection for exercising her prodigious vocabulary at inopportune moments.

Actually, she doesn’t; she’s just willing to talk like a twit in order to help you build your vocabulary.

unequivocal: definite, firm, with no shilly-shallying around (which see) and no two ways about it

predilection for (-ing): tendency to (infinitive), liking for (noun)

prodigious: very large, great, formidable (hmm, check it out)

Athena Mentor finds it delightful when her favorite well-bred Anglo-Irish friend calls on the phone and asks, “Am I inopportune?”

inopportune: inconvenient, unsuitable, and in other contexts, unpropitious

Your turn to look up “propitious.” May this summer be a propitious time to improve your vocabulary!
