Wordy Wednesdays: Asperse

Listening to Outrageous by Britney Spears (judge me all you want)
About to go tan with Suzanne - that rhymed!

    It was slightly difficult to choose today's word. I was stuck between two equally awesome words - one which has almost no use except in insulting someone, which is always fun, and the other could be used more frequently but there are other words that have the same meaning. I ended up going with option two, just because it's easier to incorporate into everyday conversation.

 (uh-SPURS) v. to sprinkle; bespatter. to attack with false, malicious, and damaging charges or insinuations; slander.

    Let no man write my epitaph; for as no man knows my motives dares now vindicate them, let not prejudice or ignorance asperse them. 
James Joyce, Ulysses

In case anyone was curious, the runner up was the word varlet. Which sounds like harlot, so I liked it. :)
