Week 6
Perjury: The crime of willfully and knowingly making a false statement about a material fact while under oath
When Lovino committed perjury in the courtroom, it got him in more trouble than if he had just told the truth.
Perspicuity: The quality of being perspicuous; clearness and lucidity
Antonio's cheerful personality should not be mistaken for a lack of perspicuity; he's actually very sharp.
Voluble: Marked by a ready flow of speech; fluent
Since Alfred moved to many different countries during his childhood, he has picked up the basics of over ten languages, and he is voluble in three of them.
Aplomb: Self-confident assurance; poise
Steampunk-style clothing is difficult to wear in public without looking stupid, but Arthur somehow pulls off the look with aplomb.
Barrage: A concentrated discharge or bombardment of artillery, missiles, or firearms
A barrage of snowballs hit Ludwig the moment he walked out of his house; he looked up to see Feliciano and Kiku childishly giggling behind a snow fort in his front yard.
Cognizant: Fully informed; conscious
Heracles was cognizant of the work that was piling up, but he simply chose not to do it.
Unctuous: Excessively ingratiating or insincerely earnest
People often complained that Lovino was too unctuous when he interacted with customers, so he was fired. Again.
Urbane: Polite, refined, and often elegant in manner
Roderich and Arthur are both very urbane men, but Roderich strongly disapproves of Arthur's habit of dressing as a punk and going to rock concerts on the weekends.
A/N: This has been the sixth installment of Hetalia vocabulary! Tune in next year for the next chapter!
(There will be a total of sixteen chapters. If it turns out that I don't have to do all sixteen for the class, I will probably upload the rest of the chapters over summer break.)
