Cumbersome

Filed Under C | 1 Comment

It means troublesome, or a “burden.” I don’t think this word to be incredibly fancy, and I don’t think you’ll turn heads while using it; but I do think that it seems really silly to use such a long word for such a simple thing. Not my homework was hard, nay, my homework was cumbersome.

Meaning perverse or willfully contrary; refractory; not easily managed.

Froward is fun to write as readers often assume you are both misspelling and misusing ‘forward’.

It’s so much more exciting to say “I went to the Otorhinolaryngologist” than to say “I went to the Ear Nose and Throat Doctor”.
