Billy was excoriated by his colleagues because his duties were disproportionate to the rest of the group's.
Because of the disproportionate number of mosquitoes, Sally had to use extreme concentration in order not to excoriate and cause discomfort.
Because of Doctor Keel's disproportionate surgery tools, he completely messed up the excoriate procedure done on his patient.
I excoriated my palms last week while shoveling the snow, partly due to the disproportionate size of the shovel handle.
Because my friend used disproportionate tools for him, he excoriated his hands.
Well done, Eugenie and Sofia.
Alidap, "excoriate" is a transitive verb, so it requires an object.
Melissa, I'm not sure that "excoriate" can be used as a modifier that way.
Yosua (and Melissa), "disproportionate" usually refers to a quality (at least implicitly). So, tools can be disproportionately large, but I'm not sure that they can be simply "disproportionate".
