Jami's New Game

Here's the game - every Thursday I'll post a word. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to incorporate the word into your conversation at some point during the following week, and then post the following in the comments for that Thursday:

• The person you were talking to (description is fine, like "coworker" or "aunt").
• The sentence you used, in context.
• When/where the conversation happened.

Then the following Thursday, I'll announce the winner. There's no prize, just pride. I'm going to judge based on:

• Proper usage, and that means not "this week's word is . ."
• Creative insertion. Yes, that's objective, but it's my game
• Recipient of word usage. For example, talking to my 2-year-old is less impressive than using it with your CEO.

That's it, so tell your friends and get to speakin'. Today's word is: oscillate

os·cil·late os-us-leyt 1.to swing or move to and fro, as a pendulum does. 2.to vary or vacillate between differing beliefs, opinions, conditions, etc.: He oscillates regularly between elation and despair. 3.Physics. to have, produce, or generate oscillations. 4.Mathematics. (of a function, sequence, etc.) to tend to no limit, including infinity: The sequence 0, 1, 0, 1, … oscillates. 5.to cause to move to and fro; vibrate. –verb (used with object)

Have fun!
