Vocab Lesson 20

1. chagrin - noun meaning strong feelings of embarrassment; verb meaning cause to feel shame or humiliation. Example: To his chagrin, she said she would not go to the dance with him.
2. nourish
3. spastic - adjective - the medical definition is something like "characterized by spasms," so I want the more slang definition: extremely hyper, having a lot of energy. Example: The five-year-old was quite spastic after eating all his Halloween candy.
4. haggard
5. ruckus
6. obsession
7. despicable
8. garage
9. antidote
10. anecdote - noun - a short account of an event. Example: At the party the man told an anecdote of his trip to Europe.
