It's an Abomination

I quite like words.  I find them copacetic.  An ennui engulfs me each time I sit down with a science or math book, but a dictionary?  With a dictionary in hand, any pestiferous virago may assail me and I will be fine.

Today I discovered that Dictionary.com has a Word of the Day feature.  Today's word is abominate.  As in the Abominable Snowman.  It's a transitive verb that means "to detest intensely."  I would hate to be abominated.  I can't imagine life as a snowman, either.  It would be much too cold.  I would much rather be a sine qua non.  That was yesterday's word.  It's a noun, meaning "an indispensable thing."
