Ennui...

as relating to the "news" - which isn't really news, but an attempt to keep us all upset and in a dither.

Did You Know?

The French loanword ennui comes from the very same Late Latin word that gave us annoy  inodiare ("to make loathsome"). We borrowed ennui several centuries after absorbing annoy into the language. Ennui deals more with boredom than irritation - and a somewhat specific sort of boredom at that. It generally refers to the feeling of jadedness that can result from living a life of too much ease. The poet Charles Lloyd described it well in his 1823 Stanzas to Ennui when he referred to that world-weary sensation as a "soul-destroying fiend" which visits with its "pale unrest / The chambers of the human breast / Where too much happiness hath fixed its home."

Hmmmmm - the commie/marxist/libtards are certainly annoying and loathsome.


While the commie/marxist/libtards were busy hating me, I painted and put down  flooring in two closets. Much better use of my time.
