Funny how the woe does not in fact be gone if you are woebegone.

Was sure that 'fallow' would mean sad based on its definition in farming. Got stuck on the different spelling of 'sombre' too.

What a copacetic quiz, Dimby, albeit somewhat erudite, cerebral and didactic.

I expect you are anaspeptic, frasmodic even compunctious to have caused us quizzers such pericombobulation.

All those young years when my mom and I did the 'Word Power' questions in the Reader's Digest paperback before we went to bed are paying off! Although sullen seems a stretch but it was the closest match when I needed the final one....also nominated

I don't really think that sullen is a stretch;

Sullen - bad-tempered and sulky; gloomy.

I'd say it's definitely an alternative for "sad", and I also hear it used a lot more commonly than some of the other words on this quiz.

I only know the word "lugubrious" from the Disney movie Hercules. Pain or Panic calls Hades "your lugubriousness" so i assumed it meant like dark or evil or brooding. Never considered it would mean sad.

That one surprised me. Its cognate luguber (both descended from the same latin word, just checked) means something else in my language. It means more like macabre or gory. So I dismissed that one.

Interesting. In English it means cryingly sad or tear-inducing.

The original latin word had to do with mourning, from which you can easily get to the sad meaning. But it also meant sinister, which is closer to the macabre meaning it has in Dutch

At the risk of being morose or doleful, I would suggest that 'sullen' is closer in meaning to being ill-humoured or showing silent resentment - sulking, if you will, rather than being sad.

I agree that "sullen" really does not mean sad. Silent resentment or silent bad temper is more like it.

Depending on the dictionary you look at, one of its definitions is just “Sad”.

I'll say it again: in uk english there is no way that sullen would be interpreted as meaning sad.

I have my Chambers in front of me: "gloomily angry and silent; malignant, baleful: dark:dull". How you can expend the meaning of "sad" to cover that escapes me.

Copacetic on the other hand I had never come across in 60 years of studying language and using english as a mother tongue.

And you just don’t get it, you keep it copacetic. And you learn to accept it.

I was saddened by this quiz... I made a quiz similar to this called "Negatives" and it didn't get featured, but this did! What the heck?!

What's even worse is that I made it before this quiz!

“Blithe” “winsome” and “vicarious”?? You cannot convince me that this is not a reference to Wicked
