Bellicose • \BELL-ih-kose\ • Adjective - Favoring or inclined to start quarrels or wars.
Marsha could understand John’s intense and bellicose attitude towards the incredibly scrumptious crème brulee that she had whipped up for him at the last minute. Perhaps it was the tart message scrawled in “Sharpie” pen across the bottom of the white, ceramic cup, revealed as he was scraping the last, tasty tidbit of the heavenly creation out of the container: “I want to break up; it’s not me…it’s you.” From that day on, custard-like desserts lost all taste for John. “They just turn to ashes in my mouth,” he was wont to say.
