The most useless word I learned for a standardized test: adumbrate

This apparently, as its primary definition, means "to foreshadow vaguely", and I can't think of a single situation that it would possibly be useful. And I say this as an English teacher, who often uses terms like foreshadowing to teach literature. Foreshadowing already means hinting at a future plot point, so what possible distinction could there be between a hint in the text and a vague hint? Even in the most nuanced doctoral paper I can't see this having utility. Why does this word exist, and who has ever used itβ€½

I’m curious of your thoughts about tiktok. Is it just another adumbration of theatre? Ego porn?

Curious to hear what anyone has to say of the sudden rise of tiktok. What exactly is so unconsciously appealing?
