Derisive- expressing ridicule; mocking
Ex: “Nice toss, Johan” Said Ted derisively as he watched Johan’s javelin stick into the ground wide right of the 20-meter mark, a short throw by any standard. Ted sprinted into position, cocked back, and fired his spear 50 meters past the edge of the track. Johan was awestruck by the airborne missile’s trajectory. He watched it soar through the clouds until it eventually returned down to earth and pierced directly into the ceramic urethra of a garden gnome in the front yard of the two-bedroom ranch next to the stadium.
Appellation- a name or title
Ex: The appellation he gave to his model train setup in his man cave was “The East Palestine Express”. He would gather his friends over to watch and wait for the train’s frequent derailments, which would almost surely result in the spilling of an illicit substance onto the table. “Oh no!” They would roar in unison, “It’s released some hazardous chemicals! Should we…find out what they are?” They would all then proceed to take the mystery drug that fell out of one of the turned over train cars and then hop in an uber to a Skrillex concert. It was always a weird night when the mystery pill turned out to be an edible, and they were forced to listen to dubstep while stoned out of their minds. At most people’s pregames, beer pong would suffice as a good group activity. They weren’t most people.
I distinctly remember looking up "appellation" when I read it in Moby-Dick.
Of course now that I've ctrl+f'd it, I'm noticing that it wasn't the first instance of the word in the book. But the others were in the "folio" chapters and anyone can be forgiven for skimming those during a first read.
