Puerile, Churl, Wanton

Puerile- not acting like an adult, silly

Ex: “Cough” said the primary care doctor as he conducted a routine examination of his patient’s testes. “Now open wide” he said as he began to unbuckle his belt. It was an absolute mystery as to how this puerile man made it through medical school.

Churl- an impolite person who lacks culture

Ex: “Begone, thy foul inbred churl!” Yelled Jason at the unkempt homeless man. His friends were quick to remind him that they had, in fact, left the renaissance fair, and no, that homeless man was not an actor paid to resemble a lowly peasant. But yes, those grotesque skin folds and misshapen features were definitely a result of generations of inbreeding, he was right about that.

Wanton- lewd, promiscuous, sexually uninhibited

Ex: She was a wanton ER nurse at the VA, known for screwing the veterans back to full health. That was until one day a few months back where her intense screams triggered Old Captain Billy’s PTSD, sending him right back to the Battle of Saigon. Her license was revoked, and she was last seen smoking a camel crush and wearing raggedy fish-net leggings in a Motel 6 parking lot. Old Captain Billy now has a full-blown panic attack whenever he sees a Banh Mi.
