word of the day.

and by word of the day, i mean words never to be used in my presence. i know... i ask alot.

accost \ə-ˈkst, -ˈkäst\
transitive verb

from the french word accoster, but ultimately from Latin ad- + costa
date 1597

:
to approach and speak to often in a challenging or aggressive way

here... i'll use it in a sentence: and he said, ' i was accoted by her and her courger-ish ways.'



*mauled is not an acceptable alternative.
