What is the BIGGEST word you've seen used in a book lately - that made you stop and look it up? Might as well leave the definition and book too.
Ummmm.... I can usually decipher a words meaning by how it is used in the sentence. So this is a pretty hard question for me because I hardly ever have to look up the meaning of a word.
The only thing that I can think of off the top of my head is when I looked up the word "Skiptracer" for my friend. The definition of it is:
The process of locating a person's whereabouts for any number of purposes. Or a person who locates someone's whereabouts. The "skip" refers to the slang skipping town & "tracer(ing)" is the person looking for the (skip).

The book in question is First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones.
LOL... I hope my answer wasn't to confusing...

I completely understand what you mean! Unless something is very outlandish, the context usually tells you what the word means.

Hopping through. I usually figure out words from their context too.

@The Readdicts: It is a good series, I really enjoy it. But it's more adult then YA.
@Sinn: Yea, and if it's completely outlandish to wear you have to look it up, then it's really not needed (or inappropriate) for that sentence.
@Rinn: Yea, I had never heard the phrase before reading this book either.
@Christina: That's what I'm here for =D
@Melliane: Yea, I never really noticed it until I let my friend borrow the book and she pointed it out to me.
@Alisona: Yea... I guess that's something else I can be happy about. Because I'm such a reader my vocabulary is pretty good as well... I know sometimes I'll say a word and my friends are just like, "WTH does that even mean?" LOL.
I didn't know or even hear of this word LOL.
