Word of the Week

Word: Impasse



Source: New York Times


How it was used: "After a week of shadowboxing, Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama on Wednesday issued their clearest statements yet on the impasse over the disputed Florida and Michigan primaries."


Dictionary Definition:

a position or situation from which there is no escape; deadlock.

2.
a road or way that has no outlet; cul-de-sac.


My sentence: After hours of telling elaborate lies he found himself at an impasse and decided it was better just to tell the truth.
