Word of the day

Today's word is INTEMPERATE.

Intemperate [in-TEM-puh-rut] adjective

1: not moderate or mild: severe

2: lacking or showing lack of restraint

3: given to excessive use of alcoholic beverages

Example:
Things were going along fine until he hit her last straw and she hit the roof with an intemperate rant and left him speechless wondering what it was he'd said to make her act that way.

Did you know?
"Intemperate" means more or less "not well tempered"—and that definition also provides a clue about its origins. The word derives from Latin "intemperatus," formed by combining "in-" with a form of the verb "temperare," meaning "to temper" or "to mix." Both "intemperate" and its antonym "temperate" entered the English language in the 14th century. Other "temperare" words include "distemper," "temperament," "temperature," "temperance," and "temper" itself. Synonyms of "intemperate" in the sense of "not controlled" include "unbounded," "unbridled," "unrestrained," and "unchecked."

Super tired tonight. Did half day at work and then went to practice, just watched but paying attention can be tiring when you're still not feeling too good. Hoping I feel even better tomorrow. At least my nose is not completely blocked up anymore lol. That seriously sucks! Hope y'all had a good tied up Tuesday.
