Morony: Word of the Day

Morony: Word of the day
n.
A moron's version of irony.
E.g. "Heckuva job there, Brownie." And almost everything else he says.
[From Greek mron, neuter of mros, stupid, foolish.]
mo·ronic (m-rnk, mô-) adj. mo·roni·cal·ly adv. moronism or mo·roni·ty (m-rn-t, mô-) n.

I subscribe to the "Word of the Day" on dictionary.com and I highly recommend it. Although I received one definition of "CUM" via e-mail that read like this:


cum ( P ) Pronunciation Key (km, km)prep.
Together with; plus. Often used in combination: our attic-cum-studio.
[Latin. See kom in Indo-European Roots.][Download Now or Buy the Book]

You can understand how that was disconcerting. I thought it was a joke. "Cum" is the Word of the Day? What's next? "Splooge" means, "I'll call you sometime?"

Don't beat around the bush, just say it. People are twisted.

Pick a synonym for "twisted." Insert here.

End communication.
