Please Drop A Vocabulary by LarrySun(m): 9:01pm On Jun 25, 2012
I want to have an oeuvre of English vocabularies. Would you care to help me out by dropping some of the vocabularies you know. I wouldn't mind if you added meanings, but I can always browse my dictionaries for their meanings, of course.
Thanks.

I think that should be hugging someone tightly and lifting him/her up in the process. I'm not sure though.
