Today’s Word

skulk
intr. verb 1. To lie in hiding, as out of cowardice for bad conscience; lurk. 2. To move about stealthily. 3. To evade work or obligation; shirk.
noun 1. one who skulks. 2. A congregation of vermin, especially foxes, or of thieves.

I didn’t know the second noun definition, but I am definitely going to have to add this to my vocabulary.

“The discussion was overrun by a skulk of Republicans.”
