Today's word: Puerile. With regards to my high school Latin teacher.

Puerile (pyoor’ al or pyoor’ile) - from the Latin “puer” meaning boy.

Definition: Childish; silly; immature; trivial.

Use this word in a sentence: “Donald Trump is the very definition of puerile.”

I’ve always loved this word — it’s a bit unusual, but it really is an excellent word to describe an immature person. And I am a nerd and loved Latin class.

I’ve rarely had a chance to use it during my lifetime, but have had numerous opportunities to use it during the past year, as in, “God, that man is so puerile!!!”
