learn some V vocab. good for elit or GP haha , from V FOR VENDETTA.

This visage, no more veneer of vanity,
is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant,
vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude
now venerates what they once vilified.
However, this valarous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands
vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin
vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious
violation of volition.

The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for
the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
Verily, this vichyssoise of verbage veers most verbose vis-a-vis an introduction,
and so it is my very good honour to meet you and you may call me, V.
