Word of the Day
Thursday, April 5, 2007
Preposterous (adjective) – Absurd; contrary to what is reasonable; contrary to reason; contrary to nature; contrary to common sense; foolish (from Latin praeposterus meaning inverted or perverted)
Word in a Sentence: In my novel Choices Meant for Gods, not all of Henry’s tall tales sound preposterous, but most include extra flare, a little exaggeration, if you will. (Henry’s great, by the way. Love him.)
Your turn! What unreasonable sentences can you come up with today?
“Some days, I just want the dragon to win.”

Sometimes, my reactions to life in general - big problems, little problems - all roll into one bundle and seem to become a really preposterous set of unsolvable PROBLEMS. Then I remember to take my xanax and they start to ebb away, little by little. How preposterous is that?
