Reputation:  (15) |  New word you learned today I used to have one of those "learn a word a day" desk calendars and I loved it. I still love learning new words so maybe we can do it in a thread.  Junta - a small group ruling a country, esp. immediately after a coup d'état and before a legally constituted government has been instituted. How I found this word - I read on the news that Burmese junta seized aid at airport.  I figured it meant some kind of governmental authority, but wasn't quite sure what it meant. |
