Vigesimal


Vigesimal. Sounds like something that needs a shot of penicillin to make it go away. But it's a cool new-to-me adjective that means twentieth, or based on the number twenty. It could still sound icky depending on how you use it.



By noon, Poppy had written up her vigesimal health code violation.

Nina scheduled her vigesimal plastic surgery.

Ursula and Trevor celebrated their vigesimal encounter.

Olive felt like ralphing after eating that vigesimal pork rind.
