Notes

Repertoire: Repertoire is commonly used to refer to a certain set of specific skills that a person has attained is able to put into action. Repertoire can also be used to refer to all of the songs that an artist or performer can perform. Essentially, what the individual(s) have the ability to perform. I commonly associate repertoire with holding similar attributes as the word arsenal. An example of repertoire when referring to the skills a person has would be, De'Aaron Fox, point guard for the Sacramento Kings, has a well educated three point shot in his repertoire. 

Trumpery: Trumpery is the normative claim that holds societal value but no realistic value outside of that. A proposal ring for marriage is a solid example of this definition because we as people tend to like these "valuable" items, because of the shine it gives. Otherwise, it may be considered a normal rock like any other. Though, due to the normative value, we as people hold a high standard for this mineral because of the social status it shows within our culture. 

Brocade: Brocade is used to refer to a high quality, often silk fabric that has a consistently raised upholstery, and can come in a multitude of different variations of color and design. The top of the comforter on my bed is a golden silk brocade, would serve as an example.
