VOTD #11 (Popeye the Sailor Man)

What's up, guys !!!!! Yeah, it's been a while since I updated this blog. So, for today post, I am going to share with all of you five new words I have learned with Mr. Popeye


1. Derisive- abusing vocally expressing contempt or ridicule
Popeye was suprised with Olive's derisive tone because usually she is sweet, soft spoken and a patient person and this make Popeye wonder his previous actions that had made her to become like that.

2. Complacent- contented to a fault with oneself or one's action
After the boxing team won their ten consecutive win in the World Boxing tour, they become complacent and did not make it to the playoffs the next year.

3. Embellish- make more attractive by adding ornament colour, make more beautiful
Olive would make a simple pipe for tobacco, and Popeye would embellish it with the carving around the pipe based on their customers' customization.

4.Demean- to insult, to cause someone to lose dignity or respect
At first, Bluto's was a friendly person but, suddenly he became demeaning, calling his friend came from a poor family , he was isolated  by all of his classmates.

5.Exasperate- to irritate intensely
As a child, Poopeye exasperated his uncle with strings of never ending questions that made his uncle to become ignorant towards him.
