Today’s “Word of the Day” is “confabulate“ and it is a verb meaning “talk casually/informally/unofficially; speak, converse, chat, confer, discourse, have a conversation, have a discussion, engage in conversation”.
Example Sentence: Extra-judicial (unauthorized by law) killings go against the very spirit of rule of law. What is mind boggling (mind-blowing) is the fact that the very same veterans of the Indian Police Service who confabulate on fake encounters and custodial deaths on various television channels, condemning police actions, are also the ones who while serving in the police setup acquiesced (accepted reluctantly) to public outcry (protest) or political diktats (orders) and went with the tide. There are exceptions, of course.
This word is present in The Hindu article It is a bumping-off of the rule of law too and click here to read it.
