Deus Ex Machina

Filed Under D 

I love this phrase (sorry its not a single word, but they don’t work alone). Deus Ex Machina is ‘God from the machine’ in Latin, and it describes a contrived situation. Its less the words that are so perfect, and more the idea behind them - of a Greek god rolling from behind a mechanical cloud to miraculously solve some aspect of Greek drama.
