SUMMARY OF ALL EXPLANATIONS PROVIDED | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
3 +7 | trendy |
| ||
3 +6 | mode (okay) |
|
mode (okay) Explanation: This is a new term for me, but Merriam-Webster's defines it as: a prevailing fashion or style of dress or behavior <harbored the cultural backwash of Europe and looked to its stale romanticism as the mode -- H.F.Mooney> <sleeping on top of television sets in the mode of the day for cats -- New Yorker> <the contemporary mode> <the newest mode in dresses> <all the mode> All alone, it might not make sense but "contemporary mode" or "Victorian mode" would. All the same, it sounds stilted to me. |
