This week's words were Nepotism and Imbroglio
Nepotism is a noun referring to a system of hierarchy, most often found in politics or a closed group of people. Nepotism is the practice of giving preference to relatives, often by people in power. This verb modification is the action of using power or other unfair advantages to gain status and positions for other members of one's family. Another interpretation of the word is: favoritism.

Imbroglio is also a noun. An imbroglio is a complex and sometimes emotionally fueled situation, noticeably marked by confusion. The Watergate incident could be easily considered an imbroglio. In general, imbroglio is a fancy way of saying: mess, predicament, problem, or situation.
