rapscallion (n)And what in the world can you do with this word? Well, you could write a sentence using it. You could look it up in another dictionary or reference book. (several dictionary searches available in my sidebar for your use.) Use it as a jump start for a short story. If applicable, find a picture of it. Whatever you do, post a link in my comments so I can check it out and put a link back to your post. And have fun.
a rascal; rogue.

Word of the Week - RAPSCALLION (n)
Disclaimer: All words that I choose come from the 1968 edition of the Webster's New World Dictionary, 2nd college edition. It's close and also nearly 40 years old so we may come across some words that are no longer in general use or have completely changed definitions. But that is part of the fun.

Originally "wrapscallion" - a person who would literally gift-wrap a scallion as a joke present :-)
I thought it was a hip-hop song about small onions. :(
I like rapscallion - it was in an old Jack and the Beanstalk movie that Matthew watched a few years ago... we used it around our place for a while after that!
