word of the week # 7

1. Recalcitrant
2. I read it in "Drinking Coffee Elsewhere".
3. "Suddenly I was hard-bitten and recalcitrant, the kind of kid who took pleasure in sticking pins into cats; the kind who chased down smart kids to spray them with mace".
4. Stubbornly resistant to authority or control; A person who is recalcitrant; marked by a stubborn unwillingness to obey figures of authority; hard to deal with or operate
5. During the riot, police had to spray the most recalcitrant demonstrators with water.
