In an effort to educate the nominally literate and inform those with sufficient humility to understand their own lack of comprehension, Esme offers the correct definition of misunderstood words…
Procrastination
- (noun – pronunciation note: pro crass donation) Giving to charity with a very poor grace. Example: It is noticeable that the charitable donations of billionaires are always marked by loud procrastination
- (noun – pronunciation note: pro crusty nation) Members of right-wing political groups who cite patriotism as a blanket excuse for all their excesses. Example: on being challenged about the name-calling and booing which characterised his rare appearances in the House of Commons, the member for North Twitchingham snorted and blamed his procrastination on extreme love of this green and pleasant land.
If you have any words whose meaning escapes you, Esme Crockford is always happy to share her lexicographical knowledge and penetrating insight into the English language.
