Next 5

1. logophile: wordbuff, one who loves words
Sana is crazy because she thinks I am a logophile. Nevertheless, its a good word to know.

2.  construe: to perceive in a particular manner, interpret
In other words, Congress can go fly a kite as far as trying to control him in matters of National Defense, because he can "construe" the laws anyway he chooses, even construe them as null and void.

3. expound: explain in detail
Even after Mr. Einstein expounded his theory of relativity, the audience could not make head or tail of it. 

4. admonitory: warning, cautionary advice
Uncle Sam delivered an admonitory speech explaining the risk involved in drunken driving 

5. petulant: continuously complaining, irritable childish behavior 

Kerry's public musing about Israel’s “illusionary” thinking on  

peace and prosperity sounded like the moaning of a petulant child: I want my nine-month

peace treaty, and I want it now!
