Reflex: Word of the Day

by Richard W Scott on September 3, 2010

Reflex, n.

Any automatic, unthinking, often habitual behavior or response.

When the ball came at him out of nowhere, he caught it by reflex.

Alternate usage:

“Did you see Zeke’s arm just then?”

“No, why?”

“Just watch.  Hey!  Zeke!  Reflex your arm, will you?”

How will you use reflex in a sentence today?

Thanks Richard. Maybe something was wrong with the computer’s ‘reflex’, or something. Will know what to do next time I ‘cant get’ a post.

Thanks Loreen. That explains it. I actually wrote today’s posts yesterday, and made an error with the WotD. It went out yesterday–and back in time to 9:30 AM (this was around 3PM yesterday). When I saw the error, I changed the date. Sigh. An accident on top of a mishap caused by a mistake. ))
Hopefully that one wonl’t occur again.
