The 'Word of the Week' is:
"Abaddon"
This week, rather than think of a great word, only to be disappointed when I'm unable to find that word in any dictionary, I decided to browse that shitty computer-based dictionary I talked about last week, until I found a decent word.
Right then, abaddon.
Firstly, it sounds most excellent. Say it to someone in a whisper and watch the effect. They'll probably turn around and look at you as if you're a bit crazy, but don't let that put you off...
Secondly, it has a most excellent meaning. Here's the definition copied'n'pasted.
Abaddon / n.
1 hell.
2 the Devil (Rev. 9:11).
[Hebrew, = destruction]
So, from now on, you can tell people to 'go to abaddon'. They probably won't know what you're talking about, but if there's any school-going kids reading this - hey. You can't get done for swearing!
Also, it sounds good.
