angels and insects
while i was reading via lantern light in my backyard camp spot last night, i learned a new word (o happy day). it is "inimical". as in the context, "there was, in this region, something inimical about the vegetation itself" (p. 35) of angels and insects by a.s. byatt.
inimical means hostile or having to do with enemies. (wow, i'd hate to run into inimical vegetation, but now that i think of it, i have).
i shall try, dear readers, to use it in a sentence today. you know, work it into ordinary conversation. like, "wow, it's really hot today, pretty inimical wouldn't you say?" or "what a great movie! i found the antagonist very inimical, however." or, for lack of better etymology, "wow, that outfit is wicked inimical!" (blame the last one on summer teacher brain).
