WOTD: Slorbish
Continuing our long-running "Word of the Day" series, the word of the day for Wednesday, August 3, 2005 is:
slorbishDisclaimer: We have done our best to ensure that the words, their definitions, and all related examples are correct in accordance with the English language. Any errors, omissions, or even, perchance, things completely made up are to be considered slorbish.
adj.
1. Knowledgeable but a little too weak to enforce the hand of education: That LogiComp tutor today was a bit slorbish.
2. Containing unfortunate or embarrasing errors, esp. in the field of education: That was a very slorbish thing for the lecturer to have put on the lecture slides, and then subsequently for the tutor to have taught as fact, only to slorbishly realise that in fact the slide was in error and retract the statement — a different tutor, mind.
3. Fiona-ish; possessing the qualities of a person who reminds you of someone who might suit the name Fiona: That girl's pretty slorbish. Hmm, no on second thoughts, more of a Felicity.
