I've been tagged by the dictionary lol
I actually got this one from KarenW at "Wired Wisdom"  

Here goes.
Now introducing the: "All New 5 WORDS You Learned Today" theme.
I am picking up my dictionary and choosing 5 words I don't know, defining them here, and encouraging each of you to LEARN 5 NEW WORDS this day (or this week if you are really busy lol).  Think of what a great example this will be for your kiddos!  In fact, if they blog, tag them!

RULES
1. Open a dictionary (English please!) at random.
2. Pick 5 words off the page.
3. Type in the definitions.
4. Try to use them in a sentence, either on your blog or in your life!

Here are mine:

felicitous: 1) suitably expressed; 2) pleasant, delightful

feldspar: any of a group of crystalline minerals consisting of silicates of aluminum with another element (as potassium or sodium)

fellah: a peasant or agricultural laborer in Arab countries (as Egypt or Syria)

fenestration: the arrangement and design of windows and doors in a building

Fenian: a member of a secret 19th century Irish and Irish-American organization dedicated to overthrowing British rule in Ireland.

The woman I met at my first support group meeting was absolutely felicitous.

Tag!  You're it!
