Suburbanite is always a great word to know.
So is interrobang. Does it mean:
a printed punctuation mark (‽), available only in some typefaces, designed to combine the question mark (?) and the exclamation point (!), indicating a mixture of query and interjection, as after a rhetorical question.
a calculus or concretion found in the stomach or intestines of certain animals, esp. ruminants, formerly reputed to be an effective remedy for poison.
Example sentences
For a suburbanite, few experiences are more wrenching than watching a lush green lawn turn brown and scraggly.
The gore, however, is used to illustrate that the character is a true-blue postwar suburbanite at heart.
