word of the day

Sometimes there are some words, some writers name, some title and some paragraph from a book that deserves to be shared.


rebarbative \ree-BAR-buh-tiv\, adjective:Serving or tending to irritate or repel.


Example from use in litterature:

Over the past couple of hours a lot of rebarbative, ulcerated and embittered people had been working hard at bedding their resentments down in sensory-deprivation tanks full of alcohol.

Will Self, The Sweet Smell of Psychosis
