Definitions for words you probably already know, but maybe don't use in situations where they would be appropriate (see if you can use one or more of them tomorrow):
debacle: a sudden, disastrous overthrow or collapse; rout; ruin [wasn't there a book about the Iraq war with this title?]
revile: to denounce with abusive language; rail against [TV personality Rachael Ray was once described, perhaps gratuitously, as "reviled" in some article I read about her]
putrid: (3) corrupt; morally rotten (4) extremely objectionable; vile
upbraid: to reprove sharply; scold or chide vehemently; censure
