Word of the Day: Abattoir
Definition: (n) A slaughterhouse
Manuscript Related Sentence: Emsger had become an abattoir, the innocent lives laying on the streets lifeless and bloody.
Other Sentence: Despite my self-proclaimed literary snobbery, I have not yet read
I particularly like this word because it is French, and the French language is so beautiful--after all, my favorite word ever is French: parapluie, which means "umbrella." But seriously--/abba-twah/. It's amazing to me that a word with such a negative definition can be so verbally aesthetic.
