Did you notice the GRE word audacity<\/a>?<\/p>\n And now you ask to use my car Audacity<\/A> means “boldness or daring, especially with confident or arrogant disregard for personal safety, conventional thought, or other restrictions.” That is, audacity<\/i> can be good or bad, depending on the context and on one’s perspective. Here, the man in question has “arrogant disregard” for politeness, reciprocity, and the conventions of romantic relationships, as seen by the speaker.<\/p>\n The speaker also calls her paramour a “trifling<\/a>, good for nothing type of brother.” Another word for trifling<\/a> is nugatory<\/A>, “of no real value; trifling; worthless.”<\/p>\n It also seems that the hapless lover is guilty of cadging<\/A>. To cadge<\/A> is to obtain by imposing on another’s generosity or friendship, borrow without intent to repay, or beg or obtain by begging.<\/p>\n You’re slowly making me pay for things
\nDrive it all day and don’t fill up the tank
\nAnd you have the audacity<\/A>
\nTo even come and step to me
\nAnd ask to hold some money from me
\nUntil you get your check next week<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nYour money should be handling.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
