Word of the Day

[bagnshoofetish]

I've been subscribing to the "Word of the Day" for some time now and have always wanted to work the word of the day into a conversation for that day. Well, you may have guessed that isn't always possible.
So here is the challenge.
I'm going to post all the "Words of the Day" daily as I get them, with definitions and suggested usage and your mission is to try to use the word in one post for that day. And if you do, please use it in bold red letters so others will see how you - used the Word o' the Day....(you will also become an honorary member of the word of the day club which grants you free admission to Club Bagnshoo....)

Ready? Heres today's -

I just read this one in a book today:

Egregious (adjective)

Pronunciation: \i-'gre-jes\

Definition: 1. conspicuous; especially :conspicuously bad: flagrant

Let us use it in a sentence! "The surgeon's egregious errors during the procedure resulted in the cardiac arrest and subsequent death of the patient."

This is fun!
