I think I need to put my glasses on. I can't read the words fast enough. and I've always sucked at these kinds of tests anyway. I know the words, but I'm just too slow to make the connection in my brain.

I'm a very thoughtful person.

mulct
noun
a sum of money to be paid as a punishment <the loan shark usually imposed a mulct of an additional 20% on overdue payments>


we call that a Vig in our lingo... banks ....bad credit banks... charge a fee to write a loan. they have different names for the fee. 'discount' or 'acquisition fee' or just 'bank fee' we all call it a Vig. Vig short for Vigorish
