august
adjective
Definition: 1. full of dignity; 2. highly honored
Synonyms: majestic, imposing, dignified, honorable, venerable, noble, regal, impressive
Antonyms: dishonorable, low-born
Tips: August often indicates something or someone of high social rank or importance. For a memory trick, think of august people with high social rank or importance attending a daytime party in the month of August. How would they dress? Most likely in suits since they are "high society," so they will look sweaty and uncomfortable, which is ironic and funny.
