LONER by Teddy Wayne had a few more new to me words.
1. insufflation – “It was easier than I thought, and I mimicked the others, tilting my head back when the line had vanished and continuing the insufflation.”
Insufflation is the act of blowing something into a body cavity.

2. ambit – “I expanded the ambit of my study to include Beta.”
Ambit is the scope, extent, or bounds of something.

What words do you want to celebrate today?
One wonders what kind of insufflation was going on in that book, LOL
Again, both words are new to me.
New to me and I’m looking forward to your review!
Two new words!
2 x Nope.
Not a clue for either one!
I think I’ve heard ambit before. I’m going to try to remember that one because it seems like a concept that I could use. Less sure that insufflation is going to make it into my daily conversation.
I agree with Joy on ambit. I like the sound of it and it seems to fit the definition.
Ambit is a good word to know and use! Happy Wednesday, Kathy!
Two new ones for me.
I had some really good ones in my book but I can’t find them.
Blowing something into a body cavity sounds like it could be pretty gross! Lol
More words from LONER? I wonder if I’ll be able to make sense of the book.
