Jactation
Pretty simple word with two related meanings.... ya,we will get back to it . Well, etymologically jactation comes from Latin "jactatare" which means 'to throw' and the pronunciation of the word goes like \jak-tey-shuhn\ !!
Dictionary meaning (noun) --1. Restless tossing of the body
2. Boasting and bragging
Example sentence -- His headache after the semester exams had grown so severe that he tossed this way and that way by jactation.
Fun description -- As there are two meanings so I will give two situational descriptions for both of them !!
Fun usage for the first meaning goes like this ::--- You got that call in the wee hours of morning t from which a husky grey voice comes up and says " You are going to live only for the next 7 days and after that I will send you to hell ... just get your wishes fulfilled as soon as possible as you have very less time left" and then the frightened you yelling on your receiver " hallo... haalo... haaallloooo" but no use as the line is already disconnected . Then you lay down on your bed ... trying to sleep but in vain as whenever you close your eyes you see a 7ft 200 pounds man with black mask squeezing your throat to death with his 50pound arm !! That's when you start tossing on your bed in jactation !!
(well.... needless to mention that a running stomach can also keep you jactating for long:P)
Now the fun situation for the second meaning is something like this -- You are newly admitted in that college and a guy came up and sits besides you and starts speaking -- " hey... I am xyz and you know what .....actually I was not in mood to get admitted here. Just watch out this whole place... it's is so filthy... man its has no standard . Even my bathroom is way cleaner than this classroom. Actually this college was built by my great grandfather ... so you know just keeping him in mind I am here. By the way did you see my new car.... its shiny man... the new Porsche out there in the market.... and .... and ....... and....." and on the other side you are frustrated and irritated to the core ( wish you had a pair of cotton ear bud to get rid of his superfluous jactation)
P.S.-- I don't wanna do any more jactation here.... it's time for you to jactate about it !! :)
