Okay so for you newcomers this is how it works....I will give you a word and you use it creatively in a sentence. This one my mom suggested and she must have gotten it from a Law and Order episode....and again it was new to me too. Flagellant (noun) 1. a person who scourges himself or herself as a public penance 2. a person who responds sexually to being beaten or to beating another person. I have to admit this is not one the more peppier words of the day, but it is a new one.

I don't see why anyone would be a flagellant -- pain HURTS!!!

Everyone used to ask the wife why she didn't leave when her husband started to beat her, but they soon found she was just a flagellant. :]
