Here's a funny-sounding word


Here's another one of those weird videos. I looked through several of them and discovered they all feature sprightly young ladies, all of whom seem to be under 25 and have perfect teeth. Is there something just slightly sexist about these videos? Anyway, the vocabulary is useful for proficiency. This word is used quite often in written English. In spoken English we might use more often "spoil" or "ruin."

    This one is more difficult to pronounce! They might be weird but I won't forget the words of these videos!

    and now I'll try to make a sentence with the word...

    "Her friends thwarted her plans of lying to her parents"

    Maybe it sounds weird but I can't think about another sentence.
