New Word 1

Well, it is a new word to me. I 've never come across this word til recently so I thot i'd share with you.

Emolument.

Any idea what that means?

According to Collins, my mini red coloured, stale smelling English Dictionary And Thesaurus, it means pay, salary..

To use it in a sentence would be: 1) How much is your emolument?

Or

2) Has there been an increment in your emolument recently?

Is it me (it must be!) or doesn't emolument sounds a bit like errrr... kemaluan??? Try substituting emolument with kemaluan in the sample sentences above....

Hehe.

Heh.
