WORD OF THE DAY
Averse • \uh-VERS\ • adjective - Having an active feeling of
repugnance or distaste
Adverse • \add-VERS\ • adjective - 1: acting against or in a
contrary direction: hostile 2a: opposed to one’s interests
“Here ya go sonny,” blared the beefy barkeep, offering a
thick slice of haggis to Dilton, the smallest customer in the dark, smoky
Scottish pub. “I must choke back my aversion to this local dish or face the
consequences,” he said to himself through clenched teeth. Even so, his reaction
to the baked internal organs of the ancient sheep was not the expected adverse
expulsion of his own stomach contents…to the contrary, he actually liked it.
