Word of the Day: Obnoxious

Obnoxious is a term for people who act unpleasantly and, therefore, cause other people to feel annoyed, disgusted, or offended.


Think about it this way: When some people drink alcohol, they are a lot of fun to be around. They tell jokes and can make everyone laugh. Everyone has fun.

Then there are the other people, who when they drink alcohol, say and do things which are not nice.

They become rude, act unpleasantly and are therefore obnoxious.

That is all for today.

Keep watching the Brexit fallout and try not to be obnoxious, please.
