Wonderful Word of the Week #9 October 29, 2009

Filed under: Uncategorized — amandageannacopulos @ 11:09 pm

My ninth word of the week is repudiate.

According to my Mac dictionary, repudiate means:

Verb: refuse to accept or be associated with

Example sentence: She has repudiated policies associated with previous party leaders.

My boyfriend and I try to help one another with our homework as much as we can. The other night, he had an assignment to read different case studies and summarize them. He read one out loud to me so I could help him decipher it. It was about breast augmentation and its link to diseases that women contract after getting breast implants. One of the sentences talked about how scientists repudiated the fact that the diseases were linked to the implants. He had to slow down to try and pronounce the word, and neither of us knew what it meant. Therefore, I knew I had to use it for this week’s word.
