crapulous

crapulous adjective he and his crapulous friends were a sorry sight: drunk, intemperate, drunken, impaired; debauched, sick with intemperance, gluttonous. ANTONYMS temperate. WORD NOTE crapulous Like factitious, costive, and jejune, this is one of those words that people hesitate to use because they know it doesn't quite mean what they think. Moreover, it looks and sounds vulgar, though being a forceful adjective for drunkenness and other forms of intemperance. Factitious suggests a portmanteau coupling of factual and fictitious —which is almost right since it means "contrived " or "sham. " Costive —that is, "slow, sluggish, constipated "—has nothing to do with cost, while jejune properly means "insubstantial and insipid " rather than "callow and childish. " Most prose should aspire to clarity, but not at the price of an impoverished diction. Writers ought to use these tricky words sometimes, not only to keep such useful terms current but also to lend a little panache to their prose. — MD Conversational, opinionated, and idiomatic, these Word Notes are an opportunity to see a working writer's perspective on a particular word or usage.
