Godzilla get word of day from dictionary people. Sometime, word not known by giant lizard. Last week, word of day was:

adumbrate

Adumbrate is old-school verb with couple of meanings. It can be defined as vaguely foreshadowing, or it can mean overshadow or obscure. Dr. Godzilla can have fun with word like this!

Example 1 (vaguely foreshadowed): HitchHiker play church as kid, assuming role of Catholic priest. He serve sister, T.O., communion using saltines and grape juice. This play-acting ADUMBRATED his future vocation as Presbyterian minister. See also IRONIC!

Example 2 (overshadow or obscure): If you meet The Flying Scotsman (TFS) for first time, his quiet, soft spoken, mild-mannered demeanor adumbrates his propensity for incredibly corny sense of humor and cerebral rapier-like wit. See also STEALTH!
