Team B words [|Cheeky] is an adjective meaning sneaky, saucy ( promiscuous) or bold behavior. I was talking with my Australian friend and he used this word (meaning bold, not promiscuous) and i'd heard this word used before but i never really knew the real definition, i always thought it meant happy because when you smile your cheeks get more prominent but it turns out it doesn't mean that at all. i thought this was a fun word to use and i thought everyone would like it as well. - Suzy

[|Antediluvian]- an adjective meaning very old, out of date, or old fashioned. I stumbled upon this word in a book called "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest". "Without actually uttering a single inappropriate word, they displayed an attitude that was so antedilvian it was almost comical." -Carolyn

"We are misled by an inner voice that generates a reasonable but often fallacious narrative and explanation of our actions." I liked the way this word sounded, so I decided to look it up. -Sarah
