Learning GRE words from Barrons would be a lot more easier if the sample sentences were based around the multipurpose word "Fuck".

1. abase - lower, degrade, humilate. After being called a fucking retard, he was abased.
2. abash - embarass - Caught fucking his dog, his face was red due to the abashment
3. aberrant - abnormal, deviant - Sheepfuckers are aberrant.

and so on.
