Word of the day
|
|
Hello and Good Morning,
I came across this word earlier and I thought I would post it and see what kind of answers I get.
The word is: Blandiloquent
anyone want to tell me what it means?
Of course I could always look it up, but what fun would that be?
Cheers!
PS Answer will be posted later today. |

All I can think of is bland+eloquent, so maybe someone who talks well but very boringly, like a politician?:D

I �ll play! I �m supposed to be preparing for my classes but what the hell!
I don �t know the word so I �m going to make a guess.
�loquent � has got to be to do with words or speech in some way. �Bland � is lacking flavour or smooth depending on the context. I �m guess it �s either �dully-spoken � or �smooth-talking �.
Will come back in a few hours to check the answer!
Have a lovely day!

something to do with the famous (infamous?) "dry British humor" perhaps?
(now I can go look it up) |

Well, I would venture as to soft spoken... or a smooth talker .... since "blandi" is close to "blando" which in Spanish means soft and eloquent is well spoken...

well ! let �s have a guess .......
bland = dull , boring
eloquent = someone who is very expressive , vivid
they are opposite adjectives
so .......blandeloquent = a person whose speech is particularly dull and boring
