Welcome back to word of the day that was....

Today's Word : Postulations and Potentialful

These words were actually in contention for the prestigious 50th spot in our dear chemistry teacher CSN's vocabulary. Let us review each word..

Postulation: Postulation is the process of postulating the postulates of your theory.

Usage: " These are the postulations given by Arrhenius in his Arrhenious theory of Electrolytic Dissociation"

Why it lost out on the 50th spot : Due to its very low impact in getting the class out of the soporific effect of his droning. :P

Potentialful: Adj: potentialful is a way of saying that the person or object to whom this is used as an adjective has a very good potential.

Usage: " the demerits of Arrhenius Theory does not mean that Arrhenius was not intelligent. He was a very potentialful person"

Impact on class: This word had a better impact than postulation. Simply because the class was ending and everybody was in the process of getting out of a very uncomfortable, voice induced stupor. The large number of people were given a bad jolt as the few ( who apparently, can resist any voice for any lenght of time, which is frankly incredible) awake people giggled.

Why it missed out on the 50th spot : The reason for this missing out on the 50th spot is not clear yet, but it was replaced by a very worthy candidate.

The 50th word: The 50th word award in CSN's vocabulary is unanimously decided as " Arre Teri ". For more on this word please look at this very same column.
