The Word of the Day for July 19 is:
verboten \ver-BOH-tun\ adjective

Example sentence:
During the era of prohibition in the United States, when the sale of alcohol was verboten, speakeasies were routinely raided by the authorities and shut down.
For absolutely no reason, this is another of my favorite words.
