Word of the Day: Bellicose

Watch out world, I own the Merriam-Webster Vocabulary Builder. Not only will I soon be ready for tests of SAT-esque difficulty, my writing will now become littered with words of the tri-syllabic kind. I apologize to your brains, pre-migraine.

Bellicose - adjective

warlike, eager to fight, hostile, quarrelsome

My examples:

The bellicose nation warred often with its neighbors.

"Your bellicoseness will see you dead. I fear sooner, rather than later," said Shawn.

The raider's bellicosity was feared throughout the unified lands.
