Vocabulary

I've read many nonfiction books over the last 9 months--ok, only 4--but I have come across many words that I either had never heard before, or that I had heard I just didn't know the meaning of. Sadly, it became such a problem that I started keeping a notebook of all the new words and last week I went through and looked them all up in the dictionary. Honestly, it was very entertaining. There are so many quirky words.

So here's one: BELLICOSE

Has anyone heard or used this word before? If you have you are smarter than me!
Here it is in a sentence....

Andrew Jackson had a bellicose disposition.........and so did I growing up!!!
