RATE-A-WORD!

parlous: /pär-los/

1: obsolete dangerously shrewd or cunning
2: full of danger or risk : hazardous

yes indeedie! this rate-a-word is actually provided by MW today. shocking, i know. dictionary's WOTD was inexorable, which i liked but didn't seem appropriate for rate-a-word.

last week's results:

vitiate

based on a weighted average of your votes vitiate is a:

4

(3.9615384615384615384615384615385 to be precise)

i kinda liked this one and i'm happy with the result. thank ya'll for restoring my faith in athenian style democracy.
