  1. I have no idea what that means. How am I expected to write about a word I don’t know the meaning of? It looks like ‘obscure’ and reminds me of the word ‘bleek’. No wait, that’s not a word apparently? Why has it been underlined in red? Did I spell it incorrectly? Bleec, bleeck, bleak. Oh!

  3. My tastes change constantly. I came home for winter break a hipster. When I returned home for the summer, I was a cowgirl. Once, in the past, I was a heavy metal lover.

  4. An oblique plank seems to be the one exercise that will transform my wide waist into a smaller more compact version of itself. Knowing this I just need to follow through now.. Yes, it is time to transform head knowledge into an actionable pursuit.

  5. Come on, push it!

    DAMN IT, I am trying! I hate this. Kill me.

    No, stop bitching. This is good for you. It really works your obliques. If you do one more, I will take you to GNC and buy you some protein. You can do this!

  6. Those who amidst the torrid regions live,
    May they not gales unknown to us receive?
    See daily showers rejoice the thirsty earth,
    And bless the flowery buds’ succeeding birth?
    May they not pity us, condemn’d to bear
    The various heaven of an obliquer sphere;
    While by fix’d laws, and with a just return,
    They feel twelve hours that shade, for twelve that burn;
    And praise the neighboring Sun, whose constant flame
    Enlightens them with seasons still the same?

    Matthew Prior (1664-1721)
  7. the object was oblique. it was another point away from a murdering device.why was he holding it above her head? he couldnt tell and perhaps that was the scariest part of all. he let it slide out of his grip, through his fingers , and finnaly onto the floor.wherso it settled with a resounding “cling” robert didnt follow immediatly, but found soon after.his shoulders tight, he seemed to be thinking back on something like a nightmarish childhood, until she saw his shoulder muscles relax, and finnally as he looked her own, and dragged past in silence.

  8. It was clearly an oblique problem that not just any super hero could solve. Walter wished that he had a slightly more cerebral super power, but the gods gave as they saw fit. He donned his cape and jumped into the swimming pool.

  9. oblique, the sun ray falling over her pretty face. lit up by the sunlight reflected from her mobile screen. as pretty as a white swan, as dange

  10. Nope, nope, nope, nope. oblique. Nope. Can’t see it.

  11. I was the oblique line. The different person. The weird one who nobody wanted to have anything to do with. It wasn’t nice, in fact it was awful. Nobody wants to be left out and sad. I moved on though. I found light in the pitch black darkness, and you can too. You’re so superior to the pain.

  12. Once upon a time

    Lies

    Queendoms
    Understanding

    Absolutely Everything.

  13. the sea had a oblique line on the water it was wavie

  14. The word came out pronounced incorrectly. Unnatural, foreign to my lips. I felt mortified, for I was an English major. How did this word never appear on a paper, website, or book somewhere in my life?

  15. i was more oblique than my boyfriends dog, so i was the primordial of all the human beings that were in that place.

  16. As always, they talked around the issues. They fought with fangs and claws exposed over the little things, but they tiptoed past the big issues.

  19. It was hardly askew, but my mind was so blown away by the past events that everything in life seemed oblique, and so the door to my unrequited love and dreams was held in this possition for quite awhile before i got to clear my head and see things through

  20. Here we go again. what does this word means? I need my dictionary when I logged into this website. As of these different words, I tell you.

  21. traingles are so dumb. trigonometry is not my enemy though. actually i like triangles. oblique is an adjective? strange. it describes everything dumb in the universe. Do you know that dark place of anger inside of you thats where oblique coms from or maybe it just means thick, like thick headed. I don’t know.

  22. i have to think of opaque. and how beautiful colors look during the day. i don’t know what oblique means, and i’m excited to figure out the meaning. it probably has nothing to do with opaque. and probably not with colors either.

  23. Have you heard of Rutherford’s experiment with gold atoms? Shoot a stream of radiation, mostly the atoms just pass through each other, a few hit obliquely and bounce off in various directions. Like people do, when they meet. Very rarely do their nuclei hit, spot on.

  24. The triangle was oblique it had a wide view and nothing could ever get very close to it. The long lonely night made it’s existence sad and the triangle tended to push everyone away from him.

  25. Oblique. I can’t even think of what that means. I guess it’s something about being um I dont know. Lets talk about something else. I can’t stand the rain. I hate trevor. Cant believe I let him spend the night last night, but I’m glad I was completely over him by the end of it. He is not a good person by my standards. He lies. He thinks mostly of himself. And the worst part is, he doesn’t even realize how bad he is. He actually believes he is right in the way that he lives his life and that he should be in power. It’s guys like him that end up in politics in this country. In this world. They have strong ideals but they don’t live by them at all, because really above all else they’re power hungry. Whatever the ideals may be, their true underlying ideals are those of getting ahead and having the most power. Even revolutionaries were this way. Absolute power may corrupt absolutely, but even a little power is already corrupted. This is one of many reasons humanity is doomed from the start and will never really improve. No point fighting then I guess.

  26. I had to look this one up. So this relates to math! Anyways yeah, I did well on the math test that I skipped. :O

  27. I’m not really sure what this word means. It reminds me of cold though. When I think of it I think of the word “icy”. I think I need to let lose in my writing a little more. I’m not even sure if its meant to be “lose” or “loose” in this instance. I feel awful today. Bleak. Not oblique.

  28. Obligatory. That’s the only thing that I can think of right now.

  29. The ophthalmologist, under threat of bankruptcy, was obligated to investigate the oblique.

  30. The shelf was oblique, alining with neither the floor nor the wall itself and it wasn’t the only thing askew. Nearly everything in the apartment was on it’s end, drawers and their contents littered the floor and it actually looked like someone had pulled the few papers from the trash in order to examine them.
    “My god. What happened here?” Jaxon asked, coming up behind me.
    I rolled my eyes. “Isn’t it obvious?” I asked, kicking at a stray ball of paper and watching as it went skittering across the floor. “Someone’s on to us.”

  31. The liquid swilled inside the glass,
    obscuring everything else that surrounded it.
    It’s dark colour drew the light from the room,
    While the glass beaded with sweat,
    The sweat of the observers.
    He felt a trickle of sweat run down his back as the conversation began to run dry.
    Time for another drink.

  32. Stretch. Bend. Pull. HARDER! [Snap] OW!!!!!!

    Never work out before stretching, your obliques have now paid the price.

  33. They notice the boy. Six, not quite seven, a woman in a large green dress and mismatched boots informs them. One of us, she tells the young couple, he is six, not quite seven, and he’s had his fair share of tragedy. He walks with determination, unlike the rest of the children who stumble along leaving little dead bodies littering their paths next to the old and feeble, weak and unwell. His leather boots are laced tightly even thought the soles appear to be falling off. They noticed the boy who is six, not quite seven, and is walking, walking, walking.

  34. So many here are writing:
    “Oblique? I don’t what that means.”
    “Clout? What is that?”
    My unsolicited advice (means advice you did not ask for but are getting anyway) is first to look at the word and IMAGINE what it means, and write something about what you imagine.
    And second, when you’re done writing from your imagination, go to the dictionary and look the word up, find out what it means, and resolve to remember it and use it because
    WORDS ARE POWER.

  35. The nature of the situation… It is oblique. The roots of it, of him, his psychological depths, not direct in descent, are therefore misleading in their rising from his fouled mainspring as black bubbles of translucent maladjustment… They pop! and are no more for him, are gone, done, passed away but for the grey rings of splatter, point-source pollution, left indelible on the innocent souls who happened to be situational…

  36. I don’t even know what this means. Is it a shape? I think my face is oblique. I would go look in my dictionary if I had time but oh well! Oblique it is …..

  37. Oblique. Lifestyles, clarity, moonlight. What does that even mean? Scores on a chess game plague my dreams. Life is bleak. Numbers, times, clocks. Misery unfolds when my eyes are closed. I don’t relate to words on a page, anymore.

  38. I don’t know what oblique means, so I’m just going to write about my penis. It is 22cm long and very thick. Women find it very attractive and like to have oral sex with me. In other words, it’s just amazing.

  40. There was a little oblique. His name was Booooooop Bear. He lived with Mama Oblique and Nana Oblique. His Papa Oblique died in a car accident. (sobs emotionally)
