Word of the Week # 8: Idiosyncrasies

How it’s used: “You’ll all be interested in my idiosyncrasies.”

Where it was found: My hospitality teacher said this today {3/19/08} in class, and although I’ve heard it 1,000 times I still wanted to come home and look it up.

Definition: A way of behavior or thinking peculiar to an individual, (noun).

My sentence: Her idiosyncrasies made everyone look at her funny; (71 words).

Make your sentence more explanatory, so the meaning is more clear.

Ex.: Her idiosyncrasies, such as wearing formal full-length gloves, made everyone look at her funny.
