Placid

Placid [plas-id](adjective)

1. Pleasantly calm or peaceful; unruffled; tranquil; serenely quiet or undisturbed:

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/placid

Translated- still and undisturbed, also smooth and peaceful

Other forms- placidity, placidness, noun, placidly, adverb, unplacid, adjective, unplacidly, adverb, unplacidness, noun

Examples sentences:

1. The water was very placid, there wasn't a ripple in sight.

2. The best time to go fishing is when the water is placid, there is nothing to scare or distract the fish.

It is best used when talking about river, lakes, ponds or any body of water that is calm. It is a difficult word to use every day unless you are talking about water 24/7.

Placid is a lot like the peaceful. Peaceful is more indirect as in you can describe many things as peaceful but when it comes to placid there are only a handful of things you can call placid such as water. Peaceful and placid can both mean pleasantly calm, unruffled, tranquil serenely, quiet, and undisturbed.

Placid is almost the exact opposite of the word rough. Rough means not smooth, rigid, and unstable. Rough could represent the rough waters of the ocean and placid represents the calm smooth waters of a lake.

My rating: I give this word 4 out of five stars. What holds it back from being the perfect word is the limited uses to explain something. But what makes i t an almost perfect word is the vast way to describe the word itself and is easy to understand. It would be a great word for someone that did reports on waters for cruises and things related to that particular topic.

Malevolent

Malevolent
[muh-lev-uh-luhnt]
-adjective

Definition: Wishing evil or harm to another or others.
-This is the definition mostly widely used, because it is straight forward with no confusion.
Translated: A evil or harmful person
Other forms: Malevolently

Example Sentences: 1. Murderers are what you call malevolent individuals.
2. In World War Two the Japanese were malevolent towards the United States of America.

When is it best used? When it comes to this word you can use it with a wide range of people. This word can be "dressed down" to use in everyday conversation like with your friends and family. Or "dressed up" to use in for sophisticated situtations, like during a job interview or talking with the president.

Synonyms: Sinister, wicked, evil
Malevolent is like these words because they all express being a dark individual, one who is maybe a little mysterious. Though it is also different from these words because malevolent takes it a step ferther by saying they like to harm others.
Antonyms: harmless, kind, loving
Malevolent is completely the opposite of all these words, malevolent is someone who is willing to harm, so not harmless. Evil, no kind people I know are evil and loving is no way to describe a person that has intent on harming people.

Our rating: We gave Malevolent five out of five stars. This is a well rounded word that can be used in all different types of conversations and is very easy to understand. With it being a word even a moron could use it clearly deserves five stars.

Dogmatic

Examples of Dogmatic:

1. My dad was dogmatic in his actions even if we knew his mistakes were clear.

2. The protestor was very dogmatic on his political views that the police was eventually called to calm him down. 

Dogmatic is best used in politics and business for someone that is so clear on their point of view that it is almost to the point of annoying. Its best to say that the person being described like this says his opinion in a sarcastic loud mouth way.

The word is a lot like arbitrary which means having a judgment without restriction. They are both sophisticated words and I would use both words in business and politics. Arbitrary seems like a more common word and has more sayings such as an arbitrary decision. Dogmatic is a word that is very rare, where you would have to look it up to find the word.

The word flexible as in able to change or persuade someone without much effort while dogmatic people will hardly ever change their decision and are stubborn about it.

I would give this word 3 out of 5 stars because dogmatic is different word but it isn’t something you would here every day. Like I said earlier it could be used in business and politics but that’s about it. What makes it an ok word is that it is a sophisticated word that could be used in a conversation just to sound smart. 

Protesters are aigainst a decision in polotics and are being stubborn about it.

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

[soo-per-kal-uh-fraj-uh-lis-tik-ek-spee-al-i-doh-shuhs]
-adjective

Definition: a nonsense word meaning fantastic
-This definition is most widely used, mostly because it is the only definition for the word and no other websites state that it means anything different.
Translated: Fantastic, very wonderful, a word used when there’s no other way to describe what your feeling.
Other forms: None

Example Sentences: 1) Today when I got my math test back I felt supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, because I got an A.
2) I felt supercalifragilisticexpialidocious to know I scored the game winning goal for my hockey team.

When is it best used? When it comes to this particular word you must use it carefully, this is a nonsense word and should only be used around a select group of people. It is suggested that you only use this word around your friends and family. Do not under any circumstances use this word around teachers, or during a job interview. This is a fun word and should not be used during serious conversation.

Synonyms: great, fantastic, wonderful
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is like these words because they all express a event that was good, but is different from them because Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is taking a step farther by saying it was the best thing that could have ever happened.
Antonyms: terrible, bad, horrific
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is basically the opposite of these words, because one means something good that occurred and the others something horrible.

We gave Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious three out of five stars. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is not a word that can be used in every day conversation. If you were to use this word in the wrong setting/ with the wrong group of people they will not take you seriously and even worse might think you’re crazy. Although this is a fun word to say it was not a word we found to be easy to do word over, mostly because it does not fit into sentences seamlessly. USE CAUTION WHEN USEING THIS WORD!

Aloof

Aloof [uh-loof] (Adverb)

1. At a distance, esp. in feeling or interest; apart.
2. Without simpathy; unfavorably

Related Forms: a·loof·ly, adverb

a·loof·ness, noun

Aloof: To be far away from someone or something or to be uninterested.

1. The group always stood aloof from everyone else
2. I felt aloof from my friend, as she moved away.

This word is best used anywhere. If your at your house and your talking to your parents about how the milk is far away and you are to lazy to get up and get it. At school you feel distance from your friends as they sit across the room. As you can see, this word can be used at home, work, school, at the mall, etc.

My Word is a lot like Cold (emotionally) but its different in that its more of a broader subject than aloof. Cold is connected to aloof because when your being apart from someone because your mad at them, you are giving them the cold shoulder, like ignoring them. 


My word is pretty much the exact oppisite of Close because being close is more caring and not so depressing as aloof which is more apart from eachother.

I would give Aloof 3 out of 5 stars because the word "aloof" is uncommon. Nobody on a daily basis says aloof. It is a word that is probably showen in business letters or on a more appropriate/ more educated level.

This shows how the houses are apart (physically)

Empathy

Empathy [em-puh-thee] (Noun):  
1. the intellectual identification with or vicarious experiencing of the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another.
2. the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated in an objectively explicit manner
 
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Empathy

Empathy: A way of showing emotion, or caring towards others.

Examples of empathy:

1. She showed much empathy towards the children in Haiti.
2. I received empathy from my friend about the loss of my dog.

Empathy is best used when someone needs help from a loss or something that is sad. Its best to show caring and understanding towards a friend that needs some attention.

My word is a lot like Trust but different in that its more of a broader topic than empathy. Trust is a big concept in life but its bigger than the concept of empathy. Empathy involves trust like keeping a embarresing secret that is personal. When someone tells you a secret, it means that they know that you care for them and that they can trust you. Empathy is like giving when trust is when you have to earn it.

My word is the exact oppsite of Apathy which means that Empathy is to show feelings and apathy is to not show intrest or lack of attention towards the other person.

I would give this word 4 out 5 stars because empathy is used in our everyday lives and everyone shows it. Everyone shows towards another person that they care or that they understand. The one thing that it doesnt make it the "best" word is that nobody goes around saying "you showed empathy towards me." Its more like,"you actually care" which is the concept of empathy.



A person who is going towards a kid and showing him that he will be there for him.
