Post a word and the definition, then use it in a sentence as it relates to the SEC or SECRant.com.

quote:

cornucopia [?k??nj?'k??p??]
n
1. (Myth & Legend / Classical Myth & Legend) Greek myth the horn of Amalthea, the goat that suckled Zeus
2. (Fine Arts & Visual Arts / Art Terms) a representation of such a horn in painting, sculpture, etc., overflowing with fruit, vegetables, etc.; horn of plenty
3. a great abundance; overflowing supply
4. a horn-shaped container


The Auburn football program had a cornucopia of problems in 2012.

Off the top of my head, so loose definitions (y'all can back me up):

"Passel" (def: group)

"Pernicious" (def: harmful)

There is a passel of posters on the Rant who tend to have a pernicious effect on intelligent conversation.
