The 'Increase Your Vocabulary Snarry-style' Thread

[themostepotente]

Since my last 'Increase Your Vocabulary' post went over well, I thought I'd do another. This one is Snarry themed, and really all you need to do to participate are post words and their definitions that describe Snape and Harry individually. These words should be fairly uncommon. The whole point of this exercise is to learn new words or maybe pass on some of that superior intellect to your fellow ficcers.

I'll start.

Harry

Impetuous = Characterized by sudden and forceful energy or emotion; impulsive and passionate.

CAPSLOCK!HARRY anyone?

Snape

Aquiline = Curved or hooked like an eagle's beak: an aquiline nose.

I always liked this word to describe Snape's nose. Breaks the monotony of 'hooked' or 'beaky.'

Go to it, folks!

Love corvine. I generally describe Snape's robe as being 'crow-black' in color.

It's a great word, isn't it? I even love to say it... "corvine".

It is at that. *G*
