Synonyms Extemporaneous, Unpremeditated. There is now some disposition to apply extempore and extemporaneous to that which is unpremeditated only in form. Extemporaneous speaking or preaching is, by this view, carefully prepared in thought, arrangement, etc., only the choice of words and phraseology being left to the inspiration of the moment. Extemporary has not this sense. Unpremeditated is thus opposed to premeditated, and extemporaneous to written or recited.
Composed, performed, or uttered on the spur of the moment, or without previous study; unpremeditated; off-hand; ad-lib; extempore; extemporary. adjective
Without preparation or advanced thought; offhand adjective
With little or no preparation or forethought adjective
Without preparation or advanced thought; offhand.
Adlibing or performing something unprepared. Usually something an under-achiever does in school when it comes to speech's, like how I used to be. A better word to use than adlib because it is worth a million dollars if you can say it and not sound as if you just added the word in your speech to sound smarter. A word that if Bush uttered it, he would die. His brain would collapse from the sheer athleticism of the word itself and the amount of syllables in it. There are to many valiant movements of the mouth and mandible bone to utter this golden fragment of the English language. Also something people do when they think of a word to put on this site and quickly think of a definition for it so they can come back two days later, read it, and smile...like me. Here is a word that you'll have fun butchering and making a slang term out of. Lets start with the 'newly invented term by me at this very moment' "Xtemp" which will be pronounced 'S'temp' This definition will not get any thumbs up because, I ask the question, "How the hell is somebody going to know about this word?" "It's not even slang." :) Smile (: Urban Dictionary
