Word of the Day: Risible

words

According to Merriam-Webster, risible means:

  • Deserving to be laughed at; very silly or unreasonable

Christoper Hitchens wrote:

I can never quite decide whether the anti- Columbus movement is merely risible or faintly sinister….It is sinister, though, because it is an ignorant celebration of stasis and backwardness, with an unpleasant tinge of self-hatred.

I might use the word risible in a sentence like this:

His risible and painfully awkward attempt at picking up a woman at the bar ended in abject failure.

Year 2016 365 Photo Journey (September 21st – September 26th) – Festival of Faiths

Pictures from the Festival of Faiths in Indianapolis. Also, I was using my new zoom lens (55mm to 210mm). I really like the zoom for taking pictures of people because you can be far enough away from them to not disturb what they are doing. Enjoy!

Word of the Day: Transmogrify

words

According to Merriam-Webster, transmogrify means:

  • to change or alter greatly and often with grotesque or humorous effect

Ayelet Waldman wrote:

As a novelist, I mined my history, my family and my memory, but in a very specific way. Writing fiction, I never made use of experiences immediately as they happened. I needed to let things fester in my memory, mature and transmogrify into something meaningful.

I might use the word transmogrify in a sentence like this:

In the butcher’s gnarled hands, the cleaver transmogrified into a bloodied, murderous instrument of death.
