Expostulate
To protest, inveigh, or challenge. To make impassioned arguments against something.
What I Thought It Meant:
A former bad posture, abandoned too late to prevent scoliosis, sciatica, or dowager’s hump.

Technically, you’re right. But such words are difficult to pronounce, so they’ve been supplanted with “expostulate.”

I was leaning toward the premise of a new marriage not lasting.
Sounds like a good name for a band.

Well, when there’s a lot of expostulating going on, a new marriage might not last.
A band with a name like that, had better have a good drummer.

You had me at the guy in the image you used that is holding up a poster saying “Not usually a sign guy, but geez” 😀

Yeah, I love that sign. Whatever or whoever they’re protesting must be pretty bad.
