Everywhere at once; surrounding

In the stable of horses, the flies were so ubiquitous that I was afraid to open my mouth for fear that one would fly in

eager for; devoted to

My brother was so avid to go out on his date that evening that he got dressed at three in the afternoon. Sheesh!

pure, perfectly clean, holy, spotless and without flaw or blemish

After our dog, Mr. Scuffles, licked the dinner plates they really looked immaculate; not a spot on them (except for all the dog spit).

having a hearty, joyous manner, jolly

Mr. Fezziwig was such a jovial man with a booming laugh, broad smile, and generous heart that no employee ever missed the holiday party!

a tiny amount

The glass was almost full and fizzed to the very top with my seltzer water, so I poured into the sink the modicum that was left in the can.

to hide securely; to settle snugly

While the tornado raged overhead, tearing up roofs and throwing cows, Farmer Zoople and his family were safely ensconced and singing hymns in the storm cellar.

able to make mistakes

Though we knew he was fallible because he was human, it was really hard to find a single mistake Louis had made in the manuscript.

unable to be penetrated, affected or influenced

We all knew that Superman was impervious to any kind of damage from fire, bullets, and anything else, but we wondered how he could get a haircut?

sleep-causing, makes someone sleepy

No matter how much coffee I drink, or how cold the room, or how loud I make the music, I still find a cup of hot chocolate and a warm muffin to be really soporific and so I just drift off to dreamland....

to move with a wave-like motion

When Aunt Betsy was trying to sooth little Baby Joon, she rocked and swayed and undulated for over an hour at a time before he would give in to the soporific motion and her sweet voice singing.

to set side by side in order to compare/contrast

As we decided on the location of our next roadtrip we juxtaposed the pro's and con's of going all the way out to Yosemite National Park. We eventually decided against it; we'd have to make too many sandwiches for the trip.

uncaring, unconcerned, unsympathetic

Is all of America completely apathetic about the plight of the amazing Blue-beaked Chicken, the endangered species that's disappearing from barnyards around the world? Will no one stand up for this majestic bird and show it we care? Doesn't anyone care at all?

brave, without fear

Though the tribe was strong, no young warrior was found intrepid enough to venture out at night with the giant skull-crushing badger still lurking about.

the finest example of something

My mother makes the paragon of all the cheesecakes I've ever eaten; it surpasses all the rest in taste, consistency and yumminess.

aware

My family all says that I snore loudly enough to shake a snake from the rafters, but I'm not cognizant of it all; I sleep just fine.

freedom from punishment

Because she had a certain level of impunity, Freida was allowed to throw croissant rolls from the top of the courts building even if she hit tourists with them.

one who speaks multiple languages

My parents were both polyglots, so they'd discuss our school progress or plot our birthday celebrations right in front of us in any of eleven languages! Aaargh!

to suffer together, to share trouble

The six of us stood waiting for the bus in the freezing rain, puffs of steamy breath between us. As we commiserated, Angela sneezed a big, nasty, "productive" sneeze and we just about died laughing with her.

a long, critical speech

Uncle Harvnen would give us all his diatribes about how "we OBVIOUSLY didn't care at all about the fate of the Amazonian Mudskipper since we spent all our time reading books and eating Cheerios and cleaning the house! How could we live so comfortably when the poor Mudskipper was scrounging for flies in the muddy banks of the Amazon?! How could we spend money on paltry things like deodorant and marshmallows when I creature might become endangered any day?! How dare you?! Where are your hearts!?" He could go on like this for hours.

explosive, changes quickly

My former piano teacher had a really volatile temper. She'd be smiling away as she listened to me play but if I got a single note wrong, she would try to slam the thingy down on my fingers. I was too quick for her, though. Ha.
